12JAN2014 Jim Todd Crawfordsville, IN USA 22:20 EST About 2 seconds. Started about N-W and headed slightly downward towards NN-W while I was facing N-W. It was about 40° up and came down 5° before fading out. Mostly white with bluish-green edges. No sound noticed. As bright as Venus but larger. Two similar sized pieces gapped by half of one's size. There were 3 tiny fragments just ahead of the front one. The two larger pieces were probably 4-5 times larger than Venus.
