This was the best meteor I have ever seen. It was moving slowly and moving almost parallel to the ground surface. I wasn't sure if it was a debris reentry or a meteor but it was very impressive.

Fragments seemed to be coming off the object as it moved across the sky. As it went out of view it seemed to really break apart as it disappeared.
