i'm not entirely sure but it seemed to get a little bigger as it fell at first i was a bit scared i had never seen that before it was in the sky for quite a bit longer than meteors i had previously seen i thought it may never leave my sight it was also traveling much slower than other meteors

maybe about a good 5 to 7 minutes after i saw the flash i heard a sound kind of like a distant light sounding boom in the air a few seconds afterward i head another one maybe a good 3 to 5 seconds apart i thought it was a firework at first but i realized that it wasn't quite quickly

Fragmentation
Observation

Remarks
it seems to very slowly be breaking up it was still intact but i could see what seemed like bits breaking off flying falling behind it and lit up by the redish fiery tail behind it... it looked a little like a sparkler firework when it first popped into my peripheral vision before i focused on it
