Biggest I\'ve seen. Bright white and had sparks shooting off the ball with what looked like tiny white tongues of flame all over it on a flat trajectory above the tree tops. I was a passenger in the car and just caught it out of the top right corner of the windshield when the drive suddenly saw it too. We were driving on S. Harrison St in Princeton, NJ headed towards Route 1. Seemed like the fireball was headed east or maybe more like southeast.
