Was facing the lake in stoney creek driving on centennial parkway. The fireball came into my view towards Toronto but it looked like it was right over stoney creek. It looked close. I have never seen anything like this. People didn't believe me until it showed up on the news.
It was amazing and I wish it lasted longer.

The sky was completely blue with no clouds. It came out of nowhere like an explosion of entering into the atmosphere then trailed off and dissipated within a couple of seconds. My Dad was driving and I was passenger. He did not see it. He didn't believe I saw anything at first.

It was like a firework blast that had small little sparks trailing.
