The object looked like a match tip, at arms length, moving through the sky. It burned out/disappeared as it went through the clouds.

Two small burning pieces floated backwards from the falling fireball, they extinguished quickly. It did not move as fast as a meteor and had a large flame component. It could have been space debris?
