A flock of birds took flight. A few cars on the road swerved a little. That was sudden and fun. :)

Remarks
I was driving. I believe I was heading east at the time. SE doesn't seem right. I saw something in my upper right windshield. very steep trajectory. I estimated over Point Pelee or Lake Erie. It lasted two to three seconds. It fragmented.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
There were three major flashes as i recall. Maybe more; I was driving at the time. The last one being brightest. A small fragment with the second flash which also flashed and vanished shortly before the main body flashed it's last time. There was some very small fragments with the fragment, I saw a thin trail and some flashing with it.
