The possible fireball seemed to come over my head and appeared in front of me as I was getting ready to walk back inside my home. I have never seen anything like this before in my life. Amazing, no matter what it was!!!

Remarks
It appeared over my head as a bright white light then there was a flash and it appeared as if Orange sparks came off of it and it suddenly disappeared. I actually screamed when I saw it, it startled me and almost looked low enough to hit the roof of my one story home.
