I was laying in bed and saw the fireball through a crescent window in my room. At the time, the club of Orion constellation was positioned exactly within the window. The reason I know this is because I have an app on my iPhone called skyview and was able to determine this. I might be off on the time by a few minutes. I have never seen anything like it. It was pretty spectacular.
