Remarks I was driving west on Interstate 70. I noticed the fireball out of the corner of my eye and watched it as it "passed" my car as it traveled from East to west to the south of I-70. My wife in the passenger seat caught a glimpse of it as well as did a friend of mine who was also traveling west on I-70 at the same time a few miles behind me
