On April 29 2011 at approximately 10:02pm EST I saw a large, bright fireball falling from the sky. It appeared to be very close and moving rather slowely. The fireball had a large fire flame following it but the fireball and flames seemed to burn out/disappear all at once. I thought the fireball was near me but discovered many other people in the Southeastern US apparently saw the same event. It was a spectacular fireball. Largest I have ever seen.
