I saw a big ball of fire brighter than moon that was directly ahead of me It burned out and disappeared with black pieces falling down I was driving East bound on hwy 417 just west of McGee side road overpass. It was relatively low, much lower than a small plane would be. The moon was directly in front of me. The sun was rising. It lasted about 3 seconds, it looked like a rather large fire ball and burned out completely turning black with pieces falling from it. Not sure if any other drivers saw it but there were quite a few cars in the area.
