No of observers: 2

Location: Brownstown, MI, USA

Characteristics: Left a trail

Yellow /orange fireball with a yellow to white tail about 3 second duration whitnessed by two, high in the north sky

4 family members and myself were all standing around admiring the clear night sky and this bright blue prototype convertable Mustang that my Nephew had a hand in engeenering ( it was his weekend to take it home from Visteon), when I and my daughter's boyfriend(the only two faceing north) saw what looked to me to be a large (the proverberal size of a dime held at an arms length) orange/yellow Fireball with a yellow to white tail.It travled over head in a north to westerly direction and was at about 78 to 83 degreeze off of the horizen north .It just appeared out of the darkness of space.

I had to post this because i heard that there have been a lot of sightings of large fireballs over parts of California the past few days and it was said that it is unusual to have two in a row, and i find this puzzling because what we saw was clearly at least two days prior to the California sightings.
