I was outside when it happened. It seemed very close over head as it passed and the flashes were very bright. As it fizzled out it spun in a circle almost cylindrically smoking then nothing. To my naked eye it looked like if it were to have hit the ground, it would have landed within 30 miles west south west of me.
