large yellow/white fireball seen in fairfield I saw a large meteor? white/yellow 3x size of full moon coming from southeast toward northwest direction. It was moving horizontally and appeared to be surrounded by sparks. It had a long tail at the end. The sky was cloudy, so I'm assuming it was travelling low in the sky beneath the clouds, otherwise I would'nt have seen it. My wife was talking to me in the backyard while I was looking up at the sky. She was facing in the opposite direction, by the time she turned to look it was gone.
