I was talking on the phone with headphones on, so there is no voice perception. I’m not sure if it was just the end of the fireball or if it was the whole “flight” of those few seconds, I had just turned my gaze to the sky when I noticed the fireball. The fine crackling tail sparks, I have never seen a similar phenomenon before.
