Was difficult to tell the distance. Did not know if it was landing in Pflugerville (15 miles north of Austin), Dallas (300 miles north) or beyond. Was surprised to read from other reports that is was noticed in Oklahoma City.

Remarks
Size of fireball was similar to the size of the moon at the same hour - largest fireball I\'ve ever seen by far. Fireball was traveling in a NNE direction. Seemed to have some fragmentation and as it got lower to the horizon and disappeared behind trees and houses it seemed yellowish or orange. Happened very quickly.
