Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks In a dark spot having just crossed the bridge on 276 east into New Jersey when to my left what looked like a lightning or a transformer blowing up caught my attention. When I turn to look left to north I saw the streak in the sky, two large explosions with a small blip in between. The sky was lit for the duration of the explosions. The one time I don't use my dash cam, so pissed. No traffic out at that hour, didn't think I needed it
