I was on duty a a law enforcement officer doing surveillance that night. The fireball came down from the sky and immediately hit the water in the canal leading to Marco river pass. It was pretty big almost half of a sedan. It is my belief that whatever fell from the sky is still laying under that canal. It was the craziest thing that has happened to me.
