Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I initially thought it might have been a plane, but it was far too big. As it moved from east to west it flashed into a ball that I estimate to be half the size of what a full moon would be. It was bright white with maybe a bit of green.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
2 or 3 bits just after the flash
