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".

This mystery has been haunting me for 51 years.

Fireballs are spectacular. I saw one about 12-14 years ago or so. I live in El Paso, TX. It was huge, and traveled across the sky also from south to north. It was in view for what seemed like two or three seconds. I don't remember if it made a noise or not. Count yourself fortunate to have seen one.
