It was shot on iPhone 8 with a zoom fully maxed out as it was at 1 o’clock before it disappeared at 2 o’clock. I couldn’t believe what I saw when it was right in front of me and after I observed it for a few seconds, just then it strike me up that I have to take a picture and a video of it.

Fragmentation

Yes
Remarks
Fragmentation stretched out at least 35 degrees and then after another 5 degrees of dark sky some 2 or 3 degrees or smaller fragments followed the path. The main “tail” looked like a half loose zipper with very bright middle and flaky edges.
