Remarks
I actually did not see it, I saw the flash from it as I was facing the house. My step-daughter and wife saw it. I am reporting my step-daughter's observation and my wife is reporting hers. Peyton reports the trail was yellow-white right behind the fireball and trailed off to a reddish color.
