Observer
Name Elizabeth M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks A neighborhood child/pre-teen said it broke up in three pieces, he could have observed this as it went out of angle of my perception (over my home). Perhaps, there was more than one in sky within that time period. I never saw it break up. I am also unsure if I saw two different ones in the sky or the same one that traveled out of view as it went over. Hope this makes sense. It was very bright and low. I first thought it was a very strange looking firework till I saw the location of the observance changed as it traveled or was more than one in two different locations. My home blocked part of my observance.
