The Spacex launch was earlier today so I'm wondering if it's possible I saw parts of the launch burning up on their way back to earth. |

12° |
Remarks |
It was a glowing train that looked like fire that ended with several individual puffs of fire before it stopped glowing. |
Terminal flash |
Observation |
Yes |
Remarks |
The flash is what caught my attention and lit up the southern sky for a second or two. |
Fragmentation |
Observation |
Yes |
Remarks |
By fragmentation I'm guessing the individual trails of fire were fragmentation following the fireball after it first lit up. Only a guess on my part. |
