Remarks By luck I was looking at the location as the bright flash occurred. It reminded me of one of those fireworks that blow up in a bright flash, except there was no boom or any noise at all. The flash was bright enough for 4 other people to see, although I was the only one who was looking directly at the source of the flash.
Fragmentation
Observation No
