This is the first time I’ve witnessed I fireball and was a little fearful about if something significant had made impact. I parked the car and we waited and listened for anything.

Remarks
Looked like a bright ball with a tail. I feared something hit the ground and we were going to hear or feel something it was so bright and appeared so close to the ground. My son and I both saw it.
