The fireball came right over my head. The flames went out once it passed over the dam and saw it continuing to move in a westward direction. After the flames went out it was a glowing yellow/orange ball about the size of a volley ball or beach ball, hard to tell from a distance.

Sounded like a camp fire with flickering flames. It was moving very slowly and the flames went out once it went over the Dam.
