Quickly got slightly bigger as it crossed the sky, then at it's brightest point flashed brighter and went out..

At the point of a flash at the end of the event, I could see a fragmentation as it seemed to split apart, with a fragment that burned brightly and dropped below the original object very quickly and died out.
