Thanks for doing this! It was really neat to sort of dissect my experience with this form. I learned a lot! I hope that it may be of some use.

Remarks
The fireball tail was long and seemed almost slow, and then right before it was gone there was a burst of light. Looked much like the flare of a match when it is first lit. It was ball-like in shape. I thought at first perhaps it was part of a plane explosion because it was so close to the airport.
