A large fireball traveling NW at a very high rate of speed.
Walked out my back door last night just before 7 pm. Looking out to the NW just above the horizon, a large fireball appeared and covered 1/3rd of the night skyline in less than 2 secs., before disappearing over the horizon.
It had a long tail and was heading towards the NW over the Whitetanks Mtn. range, in western Phoenix.
((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor?? PD))
