Meteor streaking across the sky

Anyone see the meteor that flew across the sky there a few minutes ago? It had fragmented. It was beautiful. I'm in Moycullen, Galway. Came in from the NW.

Seen it here in Westport, just as described earlier,
Looked like 3 separate pieces flying through the clouds, a few mins later there was what sounded like a loud clap of thunder ( although it does not seem to be thundery tonight)

Any chance it was a follower from Asteroid 2019 SP3 which brushed past Earth on the morning of October 3?

Maybe this is what I heard last night. At 21.15 I was outside in my shed and I heard a huge bang, it sounded like thunder directly over the shed. The night was calm and dry. I checked one of the flight tracker websites and two planes had passed overhead around that time so I assumed maybe one of them could have caused a sonic boom.

Maybe I heard this satilight exploding
