It was difficult to answer some of the questions because part of the view was blocked by the mountains...but it was an amazing fireball appearing to fall from NW to NE

Remarks
This was glowing yellowish orange...but then it fell behind the Bitterroot mountains. We are at 3800 Ft and the mountains are about 7000 to the west so it was impossible to see the last of the trail
