low altitude white fireball

White/orange trail with white fireball traveling from north to south appearing to be low altitude and traveling parallel to the horizon. Ended in huge white flash which made me instinctively duck waiting for a explosion that never came. Lots of meteor showers seen here but I haven't seen anything like this before and I'm 60.

NUFORC Note:

Possible meteor. PD
