It was way up in the sky, not in the typical view when you are driving (not on horizon or right over). I saw the light "tail" travel and sudden burst of light. Thanks!!

Remarks
It was running northeast as I was facing north. Long streak of white with bluish tint. It turned into a white ball and disappeared along with the tail. Very high in the sky and too dark to see a smoke trail. Too far north to see a fragmentation.
