Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The object seemed to slightly intensify in size and brightness just before disappearing.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks 100% sure I saw fragmentation. It was about 4 or 5 smaller "sparks" that trailed the object just after the terminal flash. Reminded me of a roman candle firework.
