I flew internationally with the Air Force for 24 years. This was the largest fireball I've ever seen, that's why I looked up how to contact you.

Remarks
It was shaped like a stink bug or bullet, blunt but slightly pointed front end and it seemed like multiple dark spots were in the pointed end. Happened quickly, so I'm not positive about the spots.
