ObservationUnknown
Remarks-
Fragmentation
ObservationYes
RemarksThere were several pieces. I didn't see the initial flash directly but saw it indirectly by the flash on the ground that would be similar to lightning since it flickered quickly. But there were no clouds in the sky. Then I looked up and for maybe a second saw multiple pieces. Then it went dark.
