What I find quite curious is that I saw where that fireball began but I could not see where it ended up. It disappeared in the horizon very quickly! Also it was very big! Almost the size of my thumb when my arm is at full lenght!

Remarks
It just appeared in the night. A big blue-green glowing and blurry light behind the clouds. There was a hole in the clouds and at that time it passed and it was very bright. So bright I could distinguish every clouds around. I could clearly see something like a rock that seems really hot (red, brown dark) and it has a very large and long fire trail. It lasted 2 seconds then as soon as it goes back behind the clouds it became a big blue dot (more glowing in the middle of the dot) followed by a blue-green train. It disappeared from my sight on the horizon.

Remarks
when I saw it from that hole in the sky, I could see clearly that it was a rock in fire. I could barely see because it happened so fast but that ''bright'' but strange flash occured and I could see small pieces separating from the main rock. In total it lasted 5 seconds!
