I have seen plenty of ‘shooting stars’ but this is by far the brightest and largest and seemed ‘not far away’ by comparison. The fact that there were two pieces made me consider it important enough to report.

Remarks
There were two apparent pieces, one smaller piece tailing the first (lower) larger piece. The smaller piece seemed to be falling very slightly slower - in other words the distance between them increased slightly in the about 2 seconds I saw it.
