Bluish fireball lighting entire area, falling at treetop level.
While sitting in pickup bed, clear evening, mountain/wilderness area, watching stars in night sky, saw lightning-type flashes drawing attention to basketball sized bluish fireball at treetop level falling toward ground. Appeared to be only 1 to 2 thousand feet from pickup location. Assumed it 'burned out' as it suddenly disappeared or lost flame/fire. (acted the way a flare shot up would appear and then fall to earth) 2nd witness : facing away from object, suddenly flash of light illuminated entire area enough to see landscape, as if several lightning strikes without any sound. ( strobe effect )
