huge fireball, streaking across the sky with a long tail. Just like seeing a metoer at night only it was in the daytime. Actually frightened me thinking I was seeing something blow up and fall, until it faded and disappeared.

We both thought it was a firework traveling the wrong direction at first, but it was VERY bright and too big and VERY fast. Long tail. We thought we'd see it hit, but a little ways above the overpass it just dissipated. No sound, but we were in a car at a stoplight.
