What I saw looked like a picture from a comic book - I have never seen anything like it. This experience was very different from seeing a "falling star." It looked like a ball of fire with a tail. I was traveling north on hwy 400 and it crossed from my view straight ahead until disappearing on top of a line of large pine trees to the left of the other side of the hwy.
