There were 2 more orange balls that appeared in the sky a little after I witnessed the fireball. These ones didn’t look like the first one observed and they were headed in the opposite direction in the sky.

Remarks
It was bright orange and cone shaped as it was entering the atmosphere and then exploded in the atmosphere. It didn’t have a trail, it just looked like a fireball shooting down to earth and then exploded while in the sky.
