it was a fast moving fireball with no tail or trail ,moving from west to east near asheville nc

i was on my way to work ,driving on nc hwy. 63 on my way to asheville heading south.i was comming up a hill with trees on both sides kinda tall and only had a gap a little wider than the 2 lane road.a fire ball came from west to east across the gap in the trees.it left no trail or had no tail, just looked roundish. the fire ball was moving very fast , i only saw it for a second or two.it was a distance off from me but how far i dont know for sure.when i got farther up the road to a clearer area ,nothing was in site.the size from where i was ,could be compaired to holding a AAA battery at arms lenth looking at the round end ,round end being the size of it.i kept looking most of the nite for signs of any meterors or a possible shower ,but saw nothing more i would like to be contacted by email if you have any idea of what this mite have been.if i can get a map to show where the location of the siting was i will send it as soon as i can.
