I was riding in the passenger seat heading East/Southeast from Chiefland toward Bronson and suddenly saw a ball dropping slightly angled East from the sky as I looked to the right out my window which is why I heard no sound. I was looking toward the south as my husband was driving and after a few seconds it disappeared behind the treeline. I may have seen the explosion because I was looking that direction and didn't see it and then I did but it appeared as a ball with a tail behind it but the tail didn't remain after it disappeared.
