The large shock wave with fragments, followed by a bright core object that continued out of view was very striking.

It was a large blurry object moving fast, and then there was a flash and what looked like a large expanding ring moving in front of the object tailed by several smaller objects that quickly dimmed. Then a bright small object continued on in the same trajectory.
