I was indoors. Large window with light diffusing “sheers” that allow some basic visuals. Very similar to the New Years Eve fireworks in close proximity to that fireball. In fact I stated “look, more fireworks” but nothing else happened after. Facebook reports confirmed I had actually viewed “something”.
