Remarks | The object was a sizable, solid white globe throughout viewing, until breaking into two considerably smaller objects, briefly flaring and disappearing simultaneously. When the object separated into two pieces, I viewed one piece "explode" to the south (left) of the observed direction of travel. The second piece did not deviate from the initially observed direction of travel. |
