I have seen fireballs in the past but this one was different in small ways. The angle it came down was steeper and it did not fall as fast as ones I have seen in the past.

The flash happened when it was out of sight (behind the privacy fence of my backyard) but I could see trees (where the tops of them were above the fence line) in the area light up.
