Traveled relatively fast but I must have observed it for nearly 30 seconds before it disappeared out of sight. At first I thought it was a dang missile it was kinda scary

Remarks
Was solid bright orange and left a glowing orange tail. Appeared to have broken up into a half dozen fragments as it traveled across the horizon. The fragments where also bright orange. The tail color disappeared after about 10 seconds of its location as it moved across the horizon. I would say it had a long tail that left a glowing light behind it as it traveled from west to east

Fragments appeared only as it got further Eastward. It did not fragment until it was nearly out of sight.
