Fireball Sighted by Child in the Northwest

I am reporting this for my nine-year-old daughter who calmly relayed this information to me the following morning. I would like to note that we do not discuss UFO topics with her, and therefore I seriously doubt that she would have dreamed this up on her own, infact I was struck by the amount of information and details that she related to me. We are guessing the time to be around 10:00 PM; she had been lying in her bed looking out the window when she saw a bright ball of fire streaking across the sky. She said the round object was very bright with orange and red colored flames or sparks coming off the back of it, and moving very fast, faster than an airplane, and made no sound. From her description, the direction seemed to be east to west.
