I was driving and saw a yellow/orange flash above my car so I leaned forward to see what it was. I didn’t get a direct look at it but the flash was bright enough to have me notice it even though my roof was blocking the initial fireball. then I saw a bright light move across the sky in the direction at incredible speeds
