I\'ve never seen any object like this before it seemed to be falling quite fast since it went from about 60 degrees to 20-25 degrees in about 4-5 minutes. Considering this object was a good 2,000 km away (for miles * by 1.66).

Remarks
Was quite a long trail of smoke behind the falling object, however it got smaller as it fell towards the earth. Hard to tell how long the trail of smoke was since the object falling was a good 2,000 km away or so.
