| Remarks | From the time it entered my view from our living room (we have an extra window above our main living room window), I could see a trail from the fireball as it fell from that view through to the view from our main window. It was a glowing train of fire attached to the fireball. The fireball seemed to be moving extremely quick and flames were visible - it was an incredible sight, even though it only lasted a few seconds. |
