I agree Chris. This is almost certainly a contrail. I remember seeing a huge
fireball one night and even in the dark, the large smoke trail was clearly
visible. Contrails don't tend to show this like a fireball does.
Cheers,
Jeff

Sounds fishy to me. The description of the event makes it sound like a
fireball, but this seems far too dim, and (apparently) too low in the sky
for a fireball that would produce sound. What the image really looks like
is a jet contrail in the sunset. I've had dozens of these sent to me as
"fireballs".
