Walking dog, looked up, saw large orange fireball with a long orange tail streak across sky directly above. Never saw anything like it before.

Early evening, clear city sky, I looked up and saw a strange orange fireball streaking across the sky. It was the size of about 1/6 to 1/5 the diameter of the moon. It had an orange tail that was about 10 degrees long. It was travelling from East to West and burned out about 4 seconds after I first saw it.
