The fireball came in at the angle specified before Except it had a slight curve to it as it came down. Furthermore it may have fragmented, but to myslef it looked as if the fireball fell behind two small narrow clouds that very briefly hid it from my sight. All in all it was an amazing experience.

It was only slightly brighter than what it looked like as it came down. However instead of blue it was more a white color.
