I’ve never seen anything like this before. From what I could tell this was huge. I was actually in my bedroom, and just happened to notice the light and caught it passing by my window. It seemed very close/low in the sky.

Remarks
Not too long after seeing the fireball, I heard a distant boom. I’m not sure of the exact timing, but it couldn’t have been more than 1-2 minutes after seeing it.
