I was driving from North on I 93 in Massachusetts facing south. I saw the fire ball enter from my right field of vision heading down towards the earth in a left direction which would be East when it disappeared. I first thought it was an airplane but realized it was descending much too quickly. I saw fragmentation. It was an amazing thing to see. I slowed my car down on the highway to see it because I was amazed at what I saw.

Remarks
When I first saw it I thought it was a large plane just descending very quickly to the earth but I realized it was moving much too fast. I did see some fragmentation like large sparks or chunks flying off in different directions
