Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks Streak increased in brightness as it went across the sky. Terminal was a bit like a dud aerial firework. Middling flash and small blossom of fragments. Moon was very bright, so the event did not change the overall light of the sky. But was certainly brighter than surrounding stars by a long bit.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks Fragments were mostly white with some small bluish and pink bits. Dissipated very quickly. No smoke trail.
