It was unlike anything I've ever seen. Amazing. I witnessed it with my family (husband and 2 children)... it was huge, super bright, and low on the horizon. Thank you for collecting data and I hope to hear more about it!

I saw it start to fragment, one or two chunks separating, but it went out of my line of sight behind our barn as it seemed to be disappearing.
