This was nothing I have ever seen and i felt immediately if it WAS a shooting star it was the closest star ive ever seen and that was too large..too close. And too much like a burning object fixing to crash hard. it lit up like a white firework stem then got bigger and so bright and vivid trailing sort of diagonally white yellow orange...like something on fire. it fell in a few seconds and disappeared below the tree tops . Side note: the last 3 weeks I've been watching the sky through the night here starting at sundown and i am recording objects that appear and disappear, almost as if it's a drone hovering but it is no drones. No airplanes seems to be tracing these flying things either. Just know what I just have seen of the description of the fireballs that is exactly what I would describe and i am just mind boggled.
