I'm not sure i've seen a fireball before, but i've seen a particularly large meteor fly across the sky and it wasn't nearly as bright or close as this one. It was seriously bright and gone within a second.

It was massive in the corner of my eye (I was driving) but it lit up the sky so brightly I thought it was thunder.
