Many people across my social media platform saw it all the way into Alabama. My personal conditions weren’t great but that considered it might be the best or second best fireball I’ve seen of the two or three that I’ve seen.

Remarks
It started in a small ball then became much brighter the mid way through its flare up the fragments began to trail off as I lost it to the hill. I was down low in a lower area and it was pretty close to the horizon from my lower peespective. It’s stayed bright and continued to come apart until I lost it below the hill line.
