Hi there, I saw the same thing! thought I was going crazyAugust 18th at approx 10:50pm
I live in North York(toronto). I was sitting outside on my front porch and saw a meteor, comet or fireball! It was a bright bluish colour and lasted about 4-5 seconds. I would discribe it as the size of a baseball. It went quickly across the sky from east to west as I was facing southward. So beautiful and amazing and feel so blessed to have witnessed it. Any thoughts on what this might have been? did anyone else notice it?
