Was on my backporch smoking a cigarette when all of sudden a dime size at arms lenght fireball appeared in North East skies.A very brillant blue teardrop which appeared to have some disenigration (sparks) in its path. It was arcing downward to the North. Very impressive..Im sure Im not the only one to see it. Skies were clear.
