Night time observation while driving with lightly wet windows, caught the event out of the corner of my eye and looked to see probably the latter half of it. Was a much "thicker" meteor and tail than I have seen in the past or during typical showers.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I believe I caught the end of the event, and the flash of the meteor itself caught my eye (I was driving), but I'm not sure if it technically qualifies as a terminal flash or not
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Looked to stay quite tight together, but did seem like some pieces may have lost velocity before others. Almost looked like someone shot a flare at a downward angle across the sky
