Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks Right at the end of its arc it got really bright and split. A bright green flash
Fragmentation

Remarks In line with the flash it seemed to disappear as it broke off into pieces. No longer bright green. Just a "poof" and what appeared to be smaller dimmer pieces broke off in all directions like a frag grenade or firework. But quickly disappeared within milliseconds.
