Got a phone call from a friend about a bright light in the sky that was smaller then the moon but much bigger then a star low in the west sky. I went out to look at it. He was right it was large. I was going to video tape it but phone indicated that my memory was full so I went to get my other phone but just as I was going to set phone to camera I saw the fireball. I was so mad cause I was so close to video taping the fireball but only because I was trying to video the bright light in the sky. I don't know if it was a star or planet but it was brighter then any star I have seen and he thought so too as he called me to take a look at it. Had I not went outside to see this bright large star I never would have seen the fireball. besides the fireball (which was amazing) I am still wondering what that bright light was that looked like a huge star out of place in the sky.
