It wasn\'t a sound from the fireball; it was from the alligator in the pond jumping in the water from the bank very quickly because he saw it too! What an amazing night!

Remarks
It was a huge falling ball of fire! It had a train as wide and as fire like as the ball! We could see the flames!!! It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!! No changes really..it just fell from the sky and then before the earth line it just was not there. I really don\'t know where or if it landed. We have many farming fields so no one really saw it but my daughter and me i think. Do these happen often? It was so amazing we just sat there a moment with our jaws dropped!
