I knew it was a shooting star, space trash or small meteor right away. It was nothing that could be mistaken for a plane or plane explosion remnant or firework. Definitely from space.

Remarks
Smoke trail like what a firework would leave with gradual fade away. The fireball itsel just fizzled out. I thought it was a shooting star but too close like 500-1000 feet up in the air. Shooted from Northeast to Southwest in I-75 Exit 193 area Venice, FL.
