...went to Papago Park (Phoenix, AZ) to sit in the hole and watch the sunset with a comrade. The air was perfect, not too hot and not too cool with a light breeze. At around 8:45 we're chatting away in the darkness when a huge ball of brightness shoots across the sky. My first thought was, wow, that's a huge falling star...but uhh why was it horizontal and how did it last a good 10 seconds before disintegrating. Comrade says "That was no star." I'd never seen anything like it before. I'm glad we were there to witness the fireball.
