At 8:03 pm Tuesday, February 13, 2002, I was driving east on Marr Rd. near the intersection of Fischer Rd., which is about 3 miles north of Howell, located in southeast Michigan at the intersection of M-59 and I-96. From the top of my windshield, I noticed a bright blue fireball streaking eastward trailing white sparks. The length of the object and its tail was equivalent to the diameter of a golf ball held at arms length. It appeared to be heading straight down. The event lasted about two seconds.
