Not sure if it was a "fireball". Basically it looked like a very thick and very bright shooting star during daylight hours, brighter than Venus and brighter than a full moon. The sun had already been up in the eastern sky for approximately 40min. I looked up thinking it may have been debris from a falling object but saw nothing. No smoke or residue remained after the light disappeared. I don't doubt that some small pieces hit the desert north of my location. I even looked out on the horizon for an impact but saw nothing. Never seen anything like it my whole life. The trail and length of visibility could have been longer but I didn't see it until it came into view of my windshield. I was driving obviously.
