Remarks this was probably not a fireball, it was more like a meteor, yellow in color with a yellow tail. It fell from the sky from south to north at about 45 degrees and lasted almost until it hit the ground. I was too far from it to see exactly where it may have landed if it did not burn up before impact.
Terminal flash
