Remarks It looked as though small bright orange fireballs were breaking off of it. It had a long white tail and as it approached the horizon, looked as though it was shrinking and disentegrating. I distinctly saw at least one smaller bright orange ball break away and disappear before it went out of my field of vision behind a shed.
