Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks We were driving down the highway when all of a sudden there was this streak of light and then there was a flash like a huge bolt of lightning had just hit. The entire sky lit up in this bright white light for maybe 2 or 3 seconds before fading away.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks When it exploded we could see fragments falling from the sky kinda similar to what a firework would look like after it exploded. The girl who was with me described it as looking like small shooting stars coming from the explosion.
