Yes this was by far the biggest and brightest I have ever seen and the closest to ground that I have seen one get. I di not hear it because I was inside a truck with the windows up moving North towards it .

Remarks
solid stream of bright yellow as big as my thumb broke up like a sparkler it was about a foot wide after it broke into a 100 pieces. Color of fragments had a red Orange tint different color not bright yellow. the color of a sparkler slight red orange tint but mostly bright white /silver pieces. the piece fell apx 1.5 foot in the sky then every thing vanished. It was low in the sky the dust would have fell on Duval street . I was about 300 to 400 foot away I would guess . It was moving East to West low trajectory very fast
