White/Blue/Orange light falling from the sky...very fast

My wife and I were traveling east on the 126 between Victoria and Kimball. Just prior to reaching the Kimball exit, we both observed a very bright light suddenly appear in the sky over Saticoy or maybe Santa Paula. We both watched it as it began to move toward the ground. Our first impression was that it may have been a meteor but then it began to emit a blue light and increase speed rapidly before turning to an orange glow and then disappearing below the treeline.

I work in aerospace and I'm familiar with both military and civilian aircraft.
