Unfortunately I was unable to see the object or direction it was traveling in because I was inside the house but I was able to see the flash of light light up the yard out a window facing south west . Rumbling sound was heard in same direction over a minute later . I'm guessing it was some kind of fireball . Artic air mass was over us and clear sky's so I doubt it was lightning .
