Remarks It streaked across the sky, then a small flash and kind of "fizzled" into smaller fragments
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks It was as if it blew up at the end and broken into many small fragments that fell almost like how parts of a firework fall, but they were still falling at an angle of trajectory (as opposed to straight down). It was white/yellow across the sky and then the fragments were more orange
