It was really impressive and was going fast. It may have last around 5 sec, cause it took me a quick moment to realize it was not a plane. And it was not a shooting star cause I could see it through the cloud and it was not pitch black in the sky. It was bigger than any start. Almost like I say when a plane is getting close to the landing airport. Don\'t know how far it was in the sky.

Remarks
It look like if it has a smoking train but it was a little bit hard to see cause it was through some thin cloud. At first I thought it was a plane preparing to land at the Moncton airport but then I realize it was going too fast for that and then it blew up in pieces.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Like I said in previous step, it was going fast behind verry thin cloud and then it blew up, like a little fireworks. Some small bright pieces going in different direction.
