I have seen meteor showers, comets and shooting stars throughout my life but never a fireball from out of nowhere. I thought maybe a small plane had exploded and was crashing down and even reported it to 911 concerned it may have been a plane and have not been notified about any plane crashes or of anything found from the authorities.

I saw what looked like an explosion of fire out of nowhere and looked as if a fireball falling from the sky for a few seconds before it disappeared behind a hill in my veiw
