Yellow orange fireball traveling southeast seen by one witness in Los Angeles area.

At approximately 8:42pm on June 29, 2012, I observed a fireball shape which had the appearance of bright orange and yellow outside my front living room window about 1-2 miles away. It appeared to be above the tree line and move slowly in an eastern direction. The city where I live is located in the urban Los Angeles area. The "fireball" moved slowly and at that time I went outside to get a better view. As I did, I noticed the fireball started to diminish in size although it was still moving slowly and heading in a southeast direction towards the mountains. It gradually got smaller until it appeared to be the size of a dot and then totally "go out" however, I could still detect some sort of craft traveling in a southeast direction. At no time did I detect any sound.
