Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
Remarks	Initial fragmentation with one main piece continued path while smaller fragments, about 5-7 smaller pieces burnt green, yellow and slowed then disappeared. Main fragment continued on a NNE heading, continued to burn bright green until it suffocated in the atmosphere and disappeared on a N view. If I had to guess it could've continued as far as WPB or further north to Port St. Lucie or even the ocean.
