Blue fireball travelling east-west at around 7p.m Pacific time

Possibly a meteor. One blue fireball crossed above my backyard, observed through a large window. My granddaughter yelled out "A shooting star!", and I turned to the window, saying "No, that's just an ...oh my!". I had time to stand up,take a few steps,then it was gone. It was travelling east-west in the southern sky. Since I was looking downhill in the dark, it was hard to tell how far away, or how big, it was.
