I thought it looked like a helicopter crashing.. very large but similar to a fireball I spotted 8 years ago in Ottawa.
This was too fast to be a helicopter and too slow to be a crash. It disappeared from sight within 2-3 seconds also but I don't know if there were trees obstructing my view, it was dark.
