I have not seen one as close as this one was. It was a slow burning beautiful fireball.

Remarks
I was in shock it looked like it could have been a fire work falling from the sky. It was so close and bright and the very back of the fireball looked like explosions popping off. There was two little explosions with flashes like looking into a fire and the wood pops.
