| Remarks | Big bright appearance/flash entered my viewing, while driving northbound. It appeared from the East. Very little angle downward. The most straight shoot "shooting star" I've ever scene. I thought it a firework, first, until it faded before I could even verbalize and point out! |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The fragmentation happened after the flash of light. It just disintegrated once the flash subsided. |
