Location: Boca Raton, FL, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Shooting star like object, then turned into small fireball headed silently east across night sky.

Looked to the north and thought I was witnessing a shooting star. Then realized it couldn’t be because it was traveling in an upward motion... The object shot like a shooting star for maybe a 3 seconds or so then a blue coloration appeared in its trail. The object seemed to disappear then I found it ahead in the direction it was traveling. It was traveling at a slow rate of speed due east. It was very small and faint little light. Maybe like a small fireball. I watched it for about 4 minutes or so until it was so Far East that I lost it over the horizon.
