Traveling on 77North. Not exactly sure where it happened but am probably within a mile on the map. The fireball was ongoing as it disappeared behind trees east of 77 in a populated commercial/residential area. It seemed to remain a fireball all the way to treetop level. Everyone on the highway slowed to watch so there would have been 100's of witnesses.
