One of the best I have seen in quite some time. Started out small and grew fast. Fragmentation falling off of center ball. It covered a great distance. From straight above to approx a 45. Relatively long lasting as for meteors imo. It was burning bright then as quick as it came, it was gone.Enjoyed very much.
