It was absolutley amazing and so bright. I looked up other fireballs and it looked exactly like some other ones that people caught on tape. Cant believe that this happened! It was probably one of the most exciting times of my life. I was with my girlfriend and brother driving. We were getting off the highway and witnesses this most exquisite display of of nature and Gods hand touching the face of earth. Pure Bliss...
