I was driving with car windows up and music on so heard nothing, but I expected to hear a boom or crash. It disappeared as it neared the horizon but I thought briefly it was a small plane going down with flaming chunks coming off of it.

The "main" center chunk was very large with maybe 3 small-moderate sized chunks behind and 1 smaller chunk in front. All bright orange/yellow as if burning.
