It was amazing! So bright. It might have lasted longer than reported because I saw it out of the corner of my eye while driving. I looked again and saw the bright object flying low across the sky and then evaporate with sparks. I have never seen a similar object so low or bright in the sky.

At least 3 pieces fell down when the "fireball" disappeared. They twinkled briefly then were gone. It was just like a firework exploding then sparks floating down.
