This was awesome! It looked like several lightning flashes at a distance on a clear, cold winter night in southern West Virginia.

Remarks
I didn't see the actual fireball. I saw what appeared to be several lighting flashes. I was driving therefore I didn't hear the sound as others in my are did. Several of my friends heard the loud boom and my husband said our dogs felt it.
