Terminal flash

Observation

Yes

Remarks

Very soon after I saw the meteor appear there was a flash and it exploded in different directions. the meteor seems to look as if it were about 5-10 larger than Venus in the night sky and when it fragmented pieces came off that were about the same size as Venus in the night sky. I was in car at the time that I saw the meteor so I cannot say conclusively there was no sound associated with the meteor.

Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
