I've been watching a fair amount of social media sighting, so I recognized what I saw right away. Clearly something burning up in the atmosphere.

Remarks
I caught glimpse just as it burned up in a trail of bright fire but there was a visible black trail in front of it as it burned up.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
That is pretty much all I caught when I looked out the car window, A short strip of fire across the sky that flared up. A black strip was seen in front of the fire just as it all vanished from view.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I am guessing the black train in front of the fire "strip" as it was not a ball, was fragmentation.
