Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks half way flashed then grew brighter when changing direction. Had a thin long trail but disappeared within 1-2 seconds. idk if that's persistent. Hard to see it, zero stars other than Venus and moon out bc sky was very cloudy still from just raining, so even more amazing shined through.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks It was shooting down closer vertical like 20' perpendicular to horizon then flashed brighter and changed direction to vertical right like 40' perpendicular to horizon.
