This was the coolest and by far the biggest thing I have ever seen. I am amazed as this was a once in a lifetime experience

The ball was about as big as a baseball from my perspective but it was blueish green in color and left a few streaks of sparkling flames kinda like a firework would except the whole thing happened in less than 2 seconds and other people around me down the street saw the same thing.
