Since I could see this event so low, I wonder if there was an actual small pieces that contacted the ground.

Remarks
I saw the tail end of this event where it was within 1000 ft of the ground and it was breaking up. Part of my a pillar in my vehicle was blocking the view so I didn't see it until it was almost finished. However, I was surprised how close it was to the ground.
