Remarks
Brightest fireball seen in 64 years by me. Seemed around 5 to 10 miles distant headed in the general direction oh the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville's west side. Seemed rather large with multiple smaller fireballs as it passed our view. My first thought was space or satellite debris due to bright blue color.
