Observation Yes
Remarks I didn't see what happened prior because I was looking a different direction when something caught my attention. By the time I looked I saw a spot of light flare up, shrink, then flare again but much smaller than the first time, all within about 1 second time. The size of the first flare was maybe equivalent to holding your fingers about 1/2 inch apart at arms distance. After this, I didn't see anything else.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
