I’d love to know what it was. I’m assuming it was a satellite with how slow it passed.

Remarks
There was a full sonic boom approximately 2 minutes after the fireball left my vision. To describe it, a dull double boom loud enough to silence the animals and cause dogs to bark. It came from the nne direction where I first saw it.
