My girlfriend started shouting that it is a huge falling star but it was much-much slower than that so I told her it must be firework... but then this was the only single one. Not another before or after so we were thinking WTF?!?! Then she read about the sighting of a fireball above Hungary at the exact time we saw it, so then we found out what actually we have seen was a beautiful fireball. :)))

It came down like a single firework (that is what I believed it was first too), leaving some smaller shiny fragments in it's wake and it flashed a couple times brighter before it was gone dark.

Like a firework, it left a trail of smaller shiny parts after itself, which did not last longer than a second or so.
