Large blue fireball streaking through the sky

I was watching television on a friday night and suddenly something caught my eye outside. I quickly turned my head and saw a large fireball-like object of bright blue streak quite fast downward through the sky and over the horizon. Since I had been studying Astrophysics at McGill University I thought I'd ask my teacher about what I saw, and after I told her about it she couldn't identify what it could have been. She says it couldn't have been a shooting star (because I wouldn't be able to see such a small faint light through a window with lights on in the house), and it couldn't have been an airplane (unless it was completely engulfed in flames and burning so hot that they were blue flames). So what else could it be? It is definitely an Unidentified Flying Object.
