Traveling West on I-16. Saw fireball between 9:30 and 9:40 PM. Fireball path appeared at a high altitude and roughly parallel with the interstate. Burned bright white with a slight hint of green for roughly 3 seconds. In final half second of burn, small fragment broke off and extinguished within half a second.
