Fireball with tail, moving sideways across sky, then breaking into many pieces; going sideways west to north.
Looked like a meteor. Started out as one large fireball with a tail, then broke up into 5 or more lights with tails going sideways (west to north) across the sky. Looks like it might have fallen in the ocean.
((NUFORC Note: Event is reported by Mr. Ted Molczan as a re-entry of satellite, Cosmos 1315 (81103A/12903). Please see addendum below. We express our gratitude to Mr. Molczan for apprising NUFORC of the event. PD))
