I thought it was strange and thought I imagined it. I created a very poorly done photoshop image to show my boyfriend because he missed it. Once I made it I felt like it looked crazy and I went on Facebook and others reported it and saw it too. It didn’t seem very big when I saw it and I’m wondering if multiple fragments landed locally because of the differences in what people are saying that they witnessed. It’s really cool though. I didn’t know that this website existed until tonight and now I’m intrigued by these fireballs.

Remarks
It looked like sparks that faded. They were bright like a sparkler but not as constant or intense - it was slow and very little sparks that faded quickly. The fireball didn’t look very big and almost looked like it was traveling vertically with very little downward decline.
