I was on my way home last evening from teaching a Pre natal class in Montreal .I was driving west on the Highway 40 (Trans Canada Highway ) between ST Charles exit and Chemin Ste Marie exit. The sky was very dark . I suddenly saw a fireball with a glowing tail. It was Beautiful! I Hope this information was helpful. P.S I love looking up in the sky. Carol

a large fireball white in the centre then orange& red with a long glowing train. It was arching towards the ground.I didn't see it go out as it seemed towards the ground. It was a wonderful sighting, something i have never seen before.
