I was driving in my car northbound on Ohio State Route 306 when I saw the sky light up a bit. I had to look up through my windshield. I may have missed the first half of the appearance by the time I saw what was happening so my estimates of duration and starting direction may be a bit off from when it actually appeared in the sky. Was really bright and greenish in color.

Fragmentation

Yes
Remarks
In the train the "sparks" were inconsistent but there we some "sparks" that appeared to be larger and lasted longer than others. Not sure if that's considered fragmentation or not.
