I studied metorology, (atmoshperic science) physics- Major & Minors respectively and a class in Astronomy back in college.
I would definitely rate as the largest fireball ive witnessed. I hope to hear more reports of this on the news. Not chelubinsk sized or- I wouldn't immagine but id be curious how big it may have been. I doubt it survived to the ground but it is possible.

A trail of iluminated fragments as it entered the frame of my window previously thinking it was a lightning flash but saw the quick moving trail of light which began to dim as it went below w tree line. Sky flashed through various shades of blue- green.
