I saw a fireball shooting across the night sky it was shocking.

After getting in at about 11pm nightly I had just sat on the couch and had the living room curtains opened and turned on the tv an it was a few minutes later I just happened to look out and all of the sudden I see this fireball shooting across the night sky in a not so fast pace I got up and shocked an just watched it go across the sky until it just disappeared there was a tail of light behind it orange and yellow it seem large but in a distant I didn't know who to contact about this until I saw this ufo program posted so I decided to report it now I still can't believe my eyes the fireball was shooting from north to south no noise at all it just happened so fast that I froze. And I thought about getting a picture but I didn't have enough time it was there moving an 15 seconds later it's gone i have never ever experienced anything like this.
