Remarks Big, bright reddish, orange sorta ball shaped. Lasted maybe 3 to 5 second's (I was on the phone outside of my local walmart, just about to get into my car ((car was parked facing west)) when I seen it.) The moon was big, round, with more reddish than orange glow, to the east. I was standing facing east south, the fireball appeared more towards south, higher up than the moon. Glowing short train not as bright as the head of the ball. The train of it maybe lasted just a few seconds more seconds than the ball itself. The fireball seemed to be going in just a very slight downward angle heading towards south west. Time frame was between 11:11pm to 11:12pm.
