i have seen shooting stars many times this was not like that. this was larger seemingly closer within the atmosphere. it was completely silent.it appeared in my vision directly above me (roof blocking vision so i do not know its complete duration) with broad golden/white tail and ended before it got far enough to disappear behind the houses oppisite. im not an experienced astronomer but i have spent all my life looking to the skies. my dad dabled with astronomy as grew up.

Remarks
there was no smoke but the bright trail seemed to for a second and had faded/dispersed by the 2nd second. it was a clear sky mostly except for some very high cirrus clouds to the right and dispersing chemtrail to the left . the partial moon was misty looking and just disappearing behind the house i was facing . the fireball appeared to be lower in the atmosphere than the clouds and chemtrail.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
there was a brightening to the leading edge. i did not see a flash that lit the sky just more of burst of brighter light that was wider than it had previously looked and wider than the tail of light. there were a little sparkles of light at the leading edge
as it fizzled out.
