We were driving home on 70W NC and we (Richard my husband) saw the fireball between mile markers 333 and 332 it lasted 2-3 seconds it was amazing and beautiful. We saw it out of the windshield more on the drivers side looking up a bit / raising our chin because it was so bright it caught our eyes. We are happy to report any information you may need.
