Flash than smoke trails. Then unknown object moving very fast after explosion

I was with co-workers have a cigarette after work in our bar patio in downtown london. It was around 4:30am when a huge flash of light lit up the sky and we all looked up and saw this trail of smoke probably a couple of km long. This smoke trail was (30,000ft Plus)very high in the sky. Then the smoke started to disappearing (the was alot of stars and it was a clear sky.) But then a star started to move westward direction and very high speed. On a clear day you can see those tiny jet planes very high up and moving. This "star" was moving at around 8 times that speed until we couldn't see it any more. The Flash startled us and when we saw the smoke we thought it was a comet or something that burned up but that "star" made it feel like it was something pretty unreal.
