We were conducting a stargaze at the Cincinnati Astronomical Society and multiple people witnessed it. It lasted long enough that I could point people towards it, and it was still lighting up when they turned.

Smaller white sparkles were coming off of it as it traveled. I think it flared up twice as it traveled. Longest fireball I've ever witnessed.
