Saw a flash of light and looked up and saw the fireball. It started blue and quickly faded to red then orange And then went away. A smoke trail was left behind it for a few seconds and then it also dissipated. It’s hard to say how long the smoke trail was besides being 3-4 times the size of the fireball itself.
