Remarks I looked up and saw a perfectly round, very bright yellow object crossing over my house, moving in a straight line North to South. My view was obstructed by my house, so I wasn\'t able to follow it as it passed over. I thought it looked very close and was to large to be a shooting star.
Fragmentation
