I've been an amateur astronomer/meteor observer for over 30 years, and this was likely the most spectacular one I've seen.

Remarks
Looked like "sparks" were emanating from it as it fell. Had it not been 6:30 am in November in relatively rural Ohio, I'd have thought it was a firework. Looked similar to a sparkler that was thrown into the air.
