Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks Fragmented into three pieces. The largest piece was the shape of a guitar plectrum about two thirds the size with the smaller fragments, one third each, one trailing slightly below and behind the larger one. The third fragment was slightly above and ahead of the larger piece. The larger piece was burning very bright, orange, yellow.with green edges. My first thought was of a helicopter ( fuselage) exploding ( plectrum shape ) the tail section of the helicoptor ( being the smaller piece was white and green edges. The third piece was slightly above and ahead of the larger and that was white. The last view of it before it burnt out was like the legs of a prancing horse.
