It was an amazing and blessed experience to see this. I was traveling from Rienholds Pa. to Twin Rocks Pa. I was talking to my Mom when it happened and my time is very close because I looked at the clock and checked the Weather channel Map when it happened to have that information as close to accurate as possible a minute or two afterwards.

The flash started faint and got brighter and brighter. I realized what I was seeing because It went from a dim light at first and within 3 seconds it was like a spot light in the sky. Then about 2 to 3 seconds I started to see the tail of it not much of it though. Then it fragmented into multiple peices. Looked like 5 to 10 peices but was quick and it did have a separation of the fragments and kinda sparkled like the tail end of a firework. It was to the in front of me and not high in the sky went to the left a little then broke away from itself. When it dimmed there was nothing but it seemed to the south of me and not an extreme distance from me it was in sky and didnt fall far from the sky throughout the experience so I would say it something did land it would've at least looked like it would've been a little south of Harrisburg Pa probably would travel a good distance from where it stopped burning up.
