This object was moving at a very high rate of speed or I would have just thought it was an airplane in the morning sun. I first saw it with a lot of dust for about 5 seconds, after that it burned clear with only a short tail. It's trajectory seemed to be slightly rising in altitude rather than falling.

I saw one fragment split off that was about 1/5 the size of the fireball but it was about 1/2 the was through the sighting and it followed the same path as the fireball.
