Fireball appeared as we were driving with large sustained orange tail. Kind of scary as we didn't know whatnot was. Then it broke into 5 pieces that also were sustained glowing objects that seemed to slowly fall. They too never varied in intensity as they slowly made it beyond the horizon. Entirety of the event was sustained (not like any shooting star I have ever witnessed) and upwards of 3-4 minutes. Truly lucky to have witnessed such an event. Wondering how many others viewed????!!!!
