This body was moving faster than any other fireball I have ever seen. Came so quickly into my field of view (across my windshield/over my head) that I ducked. Very interesting!

Very strong, bright trail, fragmenting as it passed just ahead of me traveling across my path from right to left. Pieces lit for only a moment after breaking off.
