My dogs started barking in the direction the fireball came from before I noticed it. After it fell behind trees the dogs went over And looked in the direction of where is seemed to land. Not saying it landed but it sure looked like it and was dropping fast. The smell was present about a minute after it passed. Smelt like sulfur or gunpowder and kinda like fresh rain on the road.
