The color being orange/red was something I’ve only seen a couple of times and this was the first time I ever saw fragmentation.
Saw a fireball last summer at night that lit up the sky like daylight when it terminated.
The one tonight did not flash like the one I had seen previously but this went from a large orange red ball and turned into what looked like a few orange red stripes then then into multiple little fireball/sparks.
