This was not a fireball. It was a long streak of light and then fizzled out like it was a cluster of broken up metal pieces and burned up. It reminded me of when the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster happened that I saw on video, but the streak was on a smaller scale. Please let me know if any one else reported this. I would like to know.
