It flew directly over top of me and was visible from the moment I saw it...just before it passed over me directly..all the way past the horizon. It was hard to tell the altitude but it was very bright and was trailing behind a lot of "sparks" the entire time and did not burn out or explode. It left no smoke trail. It had the distinctive teardrop shape of a fireball.
