Was outside and he sky really lit up, thought someone had a bright flashlight on me for a second. Looked up and saw a fireball that was many times larger than any star in the sky. Was bright blue with a long yellow trail. It traveled probably 15 degrees left of straight down. It was not getting any dimmer as it went behind the tree line. It was really cool to see.
