I was leaving goodwill (thrift shop) with my daughter. I just happened to turn to the right looking over st. John bosco school and witnessed the fireball. My daughter seen it to. It was roughly 735pm December 7th 2020. I have a facebook group called the PORTal. I immediately posted asking if others seen it and they did. It was gigantic! The trail was amazing...sparkly fire so strange. It was orange with yellow and a slight tinted of red. It kind or fell slowly so we got to see it really well. It looked close to us due to the size. I hope this helps!

It was a glowing train. It was the biggest fireball I've ever seen in my life. It looked like a small sun falling out of the sky
