The head was very sharp and the trail was no wider that the head and tapered nicely away. I saw nothing leaving the trail. I spotted it through the windshild of the car and followed it visually through the left window. Stopped in the left turn lane to watch it and finally turned the car around at an intersection to see it disappear. It was very slow, almost stately. I've seen numeours fireball a in my meteor watching days and this was different than any I have seen.
