I've never seen a fireball. My wife and are were riding our bicycles and we turned the corner. In the dark, clear sky we saw this extremely bright light. It got brighter then flashed and disappeared. My only connection would be that it's similar to news stories I have seen where a fireball was caught in a dash Cam and the video shared.
