Location: Boca Raton, FL, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

We were driving South on the Florida Turnpike around 6:00 AM Mar 29th 2016. It was dark and the sky was clear. We saw what looked like a very large shooting star or ball of fire moving very fast and very low from West to East. We've seen rocket launches and this was similar except for the fact that it was very low and very close.

It seemed to burn off, as it got more East.
