Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks Aproximately 8 objects of similar size/brightness/color when first observed. If they had fragmented from a previous single object, I did not witness that. Some moved faster along trajectory than others. Some travelled long distance across sky and passed through near 90 degree max inclination before descending and fading out. Others faded out during ascent before reaching same max inclination. Most remained bright for more than one minute--some possibly as long as three minutes
