i was viewing from the road and it was over a large field. There was something that occurred which i saw from the corner of my eye which prompted me to look. Next came the two flashes and long trail burnout described earlier in this questionnaire. What seemed strange was that the fireball looked to be extremely low in the atmosphere, almost like it burned out just before falling in the field. It just seemed too low.
