Terminal flash
Observation No
Remarks I saw a very large fireball in the sky with a glowing yellow / white trail surrounding it. The object then separated into 3 different objects. The objects were evenly spaced and each continued down with its own smaller trail. The objects kept their dispersion, and the trails disappeared, but the 3 lights remained, like fighter jets in a formation. Then I could no longer see the objects behind the mountains.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
