13MAR2012 Gretchen Hollingsworth Winder, GA USA 20:30 Hours Eastern Time 10 seconds approximately-I yelled for my husband to come look, and by the time he made it in the room it was out of sight. NE-W I was inside, so I didn't hear any sound. I just saw what appeared to be a giant fireball moving across the sky, as if it was something on fire. It was insanely bright, white edged with pale yellow/orange. It was as bright as the sun. I didn't notice any fragments. I could draw it, but it would just look like a ball of fire.
