| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | One large bloom with 4-6 main fragments, a shower of smaller ones. Ended with the small dots my camera (samsung S23Ultra, with no prep time for pics) Disappeared instantly. Traveled roughly from west to east. Strongly reminded me of the videos of the Space Shuttle Columbia loss - but very quickly faded. Would estimate it's final location directly over the southwest corner region of Watson Lake, south side of Alaska highway, west of the southern terminus of Campbell Highway. |
