saw the fire ball on the deck of the Bar. thought is a was a low flying air plane at first. followed it as it cleared the sight line of the bar's roof and went more or less over head and started to break off smaller pieces and change colour from brighter reds and blues to yellows and oranges. tracked it behind me and into the tree line still going in a straight line.
