11JAN2012 Sarah Kirk Jacksonville, Florida, United States 9:26 PM Eastern Time Zone The duration of its fall that I could see inside my vehicle was 5 seconds, tops. In the Eastern sky; saw it to my left as I was traveling South A significantly large, circular object engulfed in flame with a fiery tail rapidly falling towards earth. The fire surrounding the object was bright orange, but certainly not blinding like the sun. Probably a little brighter than the severity of the moon. Definitely notcable but not overwhelming. No, the object was completely in tact and no particles that I could see were being scattered. I wish I had a photo but all I have is a memory!
