The following all happened in about 5 or 6 seconds. I was initially facing 90° right of where I saw the fireball. I saw in my peripheral vision to my what I thought was an extremely bright, extremely WHITE flashlight being pointed at me. I turned my head and the sky lit up light day time and back to dark the fireball started white then yellow then orange. Seemed to have a small arc to it's path.

as the light faded I heard something similar to when you first hear a coast helicopter approaching in the distance lasting 1 to 2 seconds.
