Unless you are at least 58, you won't remember this.
On April 25, 1966 my friends and I lived in the North Bronx. We were standing in front of my house. I heard something that sounded like a stick that was on fire being waved through the air. I looked up and saw a fireball traveling from South to North. It was belching dark smoke and looked much closer than it was. To this day I thought it was a rogue missile of worse, part of an airplane.
Do your google searches on "The Great Fireball of 1966".
I can recall it as well, but I saw it from my backyard in Northeastern Pennsylvania; if memory serves me correctly, it was explained as a larger-than average meteorite.
If this was in the evening I think my mother saw it while watching TV on a couch near our front window. I think it was explained soon after as a meteor/meteorite. I don't know it was called a fireball.
Nope, it was the real thing. It wasn't some saucer shaped object with blinking lights moving at fantastic speed.
It was an angry looking meteoroid belching smoke and flame which was directly overhead and moving at speed. The sound caught my attention before I looked straight up. This was over the north Bronx. The meteoroid was traveling north parallel to the NYS thruway, the Hudson River and the Bronx River.
Incidentally, when they publish pictures of little green men, they always have tremendous eyes. Evolution being what it is, they must come from a planet of relatively low light.
