Remarks
It left me with an incredible feeling having witnessed something like that. I've seen an odd flying fireball once before in my life years ago in st. Thomas in lake Erie and this one was different. The one years ago moved at a constant speed and wasn't changing but was clearing glowing red unlike any plane in the sky. It also didn't have a tail. I've also seen a shooting star once before but that was instantaneous. In a blink of an eye I would have missed it. But this you could clearly blink and follow it along for some time. I wish I took a video because I would have had the time but I didn't want to take my eyes off it. It was just incredible how you could see it burning up as I believe it entered the atmosphere

Remarks
It started as what looked like a moving plane and looked to be getting closer and bigger while passing and then had a tail start growing longer while the fireball looked like it was burning up and shriveled smaller and smaller and the tail shrunk down with it
