I have a tree outside my window and it was a cloudy night, so it might have had a tail not visible to me.

Remarks
I heard a kind of pressure on my window around a minuteish after I saw it disappear almost on the horizon through the tree line. Imagine like using your hands and resting your weight/pushing on a window, that type of noise. I was indoors so I didn't quite hear if there was a boom or anything but it was a very distinct sudden and brief force on the window facing the landing direction.

Remarks
I think it got really bright orange as it "landed." A tree line is between where I was and where I believe it landed so it was hard to tell, but it did get brighter briefly right as it seemed to have hit the horizon which I assume is a terminal flash.
