They are usually about 60 miles high in the atmosphere and believe it or not, most are no larger than a pebble or a tennis ball. Thanks for your comment.

My husband saw a streaking red fireball on Friday night, July 24th, 2009 at 11:30 p.m.as he was heading for bed. He called me to the window and by then it was a "slowly" floating red ball of fire heading toward earth. It didn't seem to flash quickly like a falling star, but rather come down slower till out of sight which of course, only took about 10 seconds. We are in Post Falls, Idaho near the Montana border and we we're looking toward the southeast, toward Montana. It seemed to be pretty close but I know that can be deceiving. It was exciting to see and we wish we would have had our camera handy, but didn't. Thanks for the tip, we'll be out there tomorrow morning to see if we get another show!
