I was traveling SOUTH on Rt 15 (Merritt Parkway) near EXIT 40 in Danbury when the fireball steaked across the SW sky, moving L to R. It was very bright against a clear but dark blue early morning sky. Since I was traveling in the car with the windows closed I don't know if there was a sound associated with the event.

As the object moved across the sky it seemed to arc (flash) against the dark blue sky as its flight ended.
