The position of where I first saw the fireball compared to the position or angle when I last saw the fireball is not going to be exactly accurate because I was driving at approximately 35 mph when I first seen The fireball. The fireball was looked to be traveling the exact same path I was taking but only to the east of me. So when I last seen it I have no idea how far I had traveled in 8 seconds or whatever time that had elapsed. I know it wasn't that far but it had to make a difference in degrees from where I first saw the fireball to where it disappeared.
Thank you Robin

I seen the tail of the fireball disappear. The only reason I didn't hear any sound was because I was driving in my car with the windows up in the heater on because it was windy and cold out. I would suggest that you leave a place where you can comment on such things. Thank you Robin
