Big brilliant white fireball, size of full moon with long white tail falling from overhead to the South of Greensboro, NC

I was sitting at the computer which is in our back room facing west. There are large windows and a large glass patio door on the west wall of this room. I looked up from the computer to my left and out the patio door--- I saw a large brilliant white fireball approximately the size of a full moon (if the moon was directly over head), and upon its appearance, it descended south with a brilliant trail also white and long following, it appeared that it may have fallen to the ground south of here. It was stunning. Probably a meteor or space debris, but I wonder if anyone else in the Greensboro area noticed it. Pretty big for a meteor. Did anyone else see this?
