That seemed an unusual meteor because it obviously exploded spraying glowing debris prolific enough to look like a firwork that malfunctioned at a very high speed.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The flash seemed to occur about half way accross it's trajectory. There was a skip in the light streak after the explosion and it was less intense during the latter part of the streak.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Enough I thought it might be a fast moving firework. There appeared to be very many parts moving at odd angles from the main trajectory. The ball-like explosion was in the middle of its streak.
