Very bright flash midway through its visible trajectory comparable to the brightness of the report of a large firework. After that it was hard to see it lit the bedroom and half of the south eastern sky. I am only assuming there was fragmentation after the bright flash but no visible trails or report from my vantage point . I was admiring the allignment of the crescent moon and planets in the direction of where I witnessed the event. I looked out the window then turned briefly to sit back on my bed when the light caught my eye I might have missed its entry which was likely over my head but the explosion was a large round flash which lit everything.
