Remarks	I first saw the one fireball approaching from the east, as it came opposite me to the north, it broke into two distinct large glowing balls, one right behind the other, and continued to the west another 2 seconds or so, as two separate lights, then disappeared as it traveled farther to the west. Very very low and very fast as it passed by, I thought it would hit the 12,000 ft mountain to the west of me.
