Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The light is what brought it to my attention. It looked as if the sky was trying to turn a light switch on (very bright blue sky, keeping in mind that it was 0345 and pitch black out) a couple flickers then stayed on for a couple seconds then went out. The fire ball looked like it had a couple black fragments but all clustered close together
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks Saw a couple black fragments that were clustered together.
