Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
Remarks	I was in the house, laying in bed on my phone, and it looked like it was lightning outside, the sky was flashing, about 4-6 flashes, pretty close together, with a small pause inbetween them. Then I saw a super thick, bright white trail of "shooting star". It had big fragments right when it was "done", no longer visible. Seems like there was between 3-5 visible chunks. It was like an explosion, and then gone. I did not see fragments trailing behind, but my view was limited due to the window.
