When it burned out, it was about 200 feet above the ground and there were some amber sparks that came off of it when it went out. I have never seen anything this bright before. It was cool!!

Remarks
It looked like it was about the size of a basketball, and I am sure it landed on the airport grounds. it was very clear and burned out right above the airport runways, but landed in the field nw of the runway.
