I was traveling east bound on Highway 24 and happened to catch sight of the fireball to the north of me. I am unsure how long it may have been burning before I caught sight of it. from viewpoint in the car it also appeared to be heading from west to east. The was still a good amount of daylight left and it was still bright and very easily visible.
