9 of us were just getting out of our seats in a Starbucks in Ottawa Ontario Canada when we all saw a very bright blue and white fireball in the sky. It appeared with a flash that seemed to be much brighter than the moon as it got out attention in a highly lit coffee shop. Windows were on the northeast side of the building and it was moving southeast. Lasted only about 2 seconds from what I could tell. Absolutely spectacular!
