Glowing tail continuously. Object on my right side going West on route 9 ware to belcherown ma. The fire and tail lasted for 5mins until it was obscured by trees and therefore out of my sight. The tail split into two at the ends it looked like a forked tongue.
It was a beautiful fall red to red orange. The first fireball I\'ve seen. Very cool wish I could have seen it hit ground.
