The Meteor fireball.

On Wednesday evening I saw it, the Meteor fireball whizzing past planet earth, I was sitting on the settee and through a window saw something darting across the black sky, a really bright round ball shape with a tail behind it, I jumped up and got to the window all in one movement but a second later it had gone.
The thing I find most amazing was that it looked huge but astronomers say that it was only a bit bigger than a fist and at an altitude of 60 to 70 miles, impressive.
