Remarks I was outside smoking a cigarette and I happened to look up and see a fireball flying by. Bright Fire Orange color and it had a nice tail to it. It was very small but I know for a fact that the object was too low to be a shooting star as stars stay in space as far as I know. No smoke just Fire orange. Coolest thing I ever seen. The color of the fireball looked like the color on the cherry of a cigarette. Only difference was the thing was in the sky. Looked like a metorite to me.
