We had never heard of a fireball before but we researched online as it was so extraordinary. Everything in your website was entirely consistent with what we saw. Two of us saw it and we were driving at the time so are unable to report on sound. The trail lasted for several minutes. It was very bright as it was not yet dark - as if we'd seen a shooting star exploding in daylight.
