I was actually watching the ISS make a pass overhead from a third-floor balcony, and just as it began to fade into the northern sky is when the bolide appeared, so I'm pretty close on the particulars.

The bolide was a relatively slow-mover in an almost vertical trajectory. Behind some distant high clouds, there were two very brief terminal flashes, both yellow/orange.
