Purple fire trail from debris headed east at rapid pace, leaving thunder boom in its wake.

There was a chunk of debris with a purple trail (like fire) flying east in the air at a rapid pace. There was a short thunder boom afterward which scared my animals. I called my wife who was about 10 miles east and she was outside with everyone in the neighborhood trying to figure out what happened, they heard the same thing.
