It has been a couple days since the event, so I hope my memory is accurate. This was my first time ever seeing a fireball!

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The flash probably began halfway between when I spotted the object and when I lost sight of it below the treeline, with fragmentation following either concurrently or shortly thereafter.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The object seemed to fragment into several smaller pieces (perhaps 3 to 5, although I'm not sure) as it approached the horizon and before I lost sight of it below the treeline.
