Fireball Sighting Reports

Date: Fireball Sighting %cats=Fireball Reports
Time Of Sighting: 01:03
Report: It was big falling out of the sky at an angle. It was very bright making a wooshing sound. It was reddish/yellowish/orangish. It appeared to be about 50′ in diameter. At first I thought it was a plane, at first it looked like the headlight of a plane coming at me low to the ground and then I thought it was a plane crashing. It appeared that in it’s trail there were pieces of something falling apart. When the object fell below the tree line it was no longer visable prior to going below the tree line behind our home it was still glowing very brightly.
