Remarks The fireball was fat in the front and had a short tail. I saw it for about 1 second from my apartment window on the 33rd floor of my building. It was low and big, so I thought "That can't be a star." I actually listened to see if I could hear impact of something because it looked like something flying behind the buildings!
