It was scary. I have never seen a meteor move this long and this much bright in my life. I thought it will fall somewhere and hit the ground.

It started as one big fireball. I thought it was a flying object on fire like a plane. But after 5-7 seconds, started fragmentation. Split to 3-5 smal objects. Big still big and continued to move.
