Remarks A BRIGHT planet sized "star" getting brighter and whiter until it split into two pieces. The primary object followed the trajectory noted before. The secondary object fell to a 45Degree angle and glowed Bright Orange and stopped glowing about 3 fists from the horizon. I "saw" rings of emanating light of differing gradient color from both objects, and the sky around the event stayed illuminated for 15 to 25 seconds after.
