I am certain I saw it appear right in front of me due-west then it disappeared due-north where I could no longer see it had fallen below neighboring house and trees. I had to step out from under my roof to continue to watch it. I recall being amazed it didn't appear to fall much due to its low & shallow flight path. Gone in about 20 seconds. There may have been some fragments but too quickly disappeared in the flashing.

3 times in quick succession half way through the flight I could see it flared in brightness but appeared to remain in one piece.
