Please put any additional remarks, sketches, drawings, etc. below:
  While looking due east from my home window, the fireball appeared slightly 
north and headed ESE. It was at a steep angle and appeared to be close to earth, 
as I could see reflections of the fireball on the clouds in the area. It 
appeared to be extinguished before hitting the horizon.
