| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It had a very faint pop of brightness before it ended. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There were several smaller fragments behind it, all traveling in slightly different angles but staying on roughly the same trajectory as the big one, all at high speed and going downward. They fragments only seemed to last for fractions of a second and I'd guess there were about 5-10 in total. |
