Glider BOMB Discovered in the Game of Life!

So I could be wrong, but just for fun I will arbitrarily claim that I discovered the following structure in John Conway's game of life.  While playing around with orientations of ovals and pixels attached to ovals, I found an interesting pattern which seems to start exploding out but then separates out into 4 distinct gliders with no interior activity left.  Below is a picture of the initial structure as well as an animation showing how it explodes out.
