Large light orb traveling at enormous speed

A very bright light with subsequent freball much larger than stars passed almost directly down to earth for about 10 seconds directly ahead of us. We were driving and my daughter was sat in the fount of the car with me. The light orb dissapeared after seeming to move off at a tangent very quickly. Initially we thought it was either debris or a explosion in the air but there was no subsequent explosion on the ground. The event lasted about ten seconds. It was a very bright night as it was a full moon.
