I first saw it in my right peripherals as i was facing east. I looked south thinking it was either a plane in the night sky or a helicopter with a spot light. It was blinking bright white as it moved west then it split into small yellow pieces that quickly turned red then disappeared. The whole thing took about 3 seconds with the first 2 being bright white and the final being it breaking up and fading. My degrees of its location are rough guesses. It startes directly south of me and ended somewhere inbetween southwest and west of me in the sky.
