Right. The one I saw was traced to a landfill in Texas and estimated to be about basketball sized (so I was told by a guy at the ASU Meterorite Study Center). I saw it here in Scottsdale. It looked smaller than the moon, perhaps half its size in the sky. I just happened to be looking right at that part of the sky when it showed up.

have also been a meteorite hunter and collector for many years now. What
most people don't realize though is that even though the fireball seems
very close, unless you see the impact, it is most likely still a very long
way off. It might be low in the sky, but if it still heads to the horizon,
it can still 100's of miles away.

Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:
"Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
"Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"
