I was talking on the mobile phone when I happened to notice it. When the orange fireball transformation occurred I had a momentary thought that it was a plane over the Point Road because it was that big. Later online I learned others in Atlantic Canada saw it too (Cape Breton and Campbelton, NB which are quite far from me - so my scale is obviously way off
