Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
Remarks	There appeared to be small bright debris drop off or disconnect from the backside of the object. It did not linger. NOTE: this was observed through trees on a small 90 ft elev. hill to the west of the house. At first I thought it was a plane with landing lights on, however it's movement was perpendicular to me. My location is rural and I heard no plane or helicopter sounds. I estimate the aparent visual size of the object as approx. 1/4 diameter of the moon.
