Fireball moved from nearly due west to due east almost all the way to the horizon. I was facing due east, so the object was travelling directly away from me. It never seemed to change brightness or burn out. It's apparent diameter seemed constant throughout it's trajectory. I Assume that these characteristics would indicate a very high altitude. I have an avid interest in astrophysics and contemporary science theory and would love to know if there is any more detailed information on this event.
