Fireball looked like a large glowing lightbulb (to clarify the \"white\" description of the colour) with sparks of fire flying of it. In case the map directions were not clearly marked, I was driving southbound on Highway 27 and the fireball appeared from the west and disappeared in the horizon on the east.
