Ball of fire falling from sky

I was talking with friends and I noticed a new light in my peripheral vision. I looked up and saw what seemed to be a falling star just above eye level. Then I realized it was far too large and close to be a shooting star because it seemed to only be a mile away. It looked a ball of fire falling from the sky with a trail of smoke. It feel almost perpendicular to the ground. It took about 5-10 seconds to fall from where I first saw it to beyond the building skyline and out of my sight.
