The night I saw it I wasn't sure if it was a meteor. But I soon realized it was too early for any fireworks. So I knew it was a meteor.

Remarks
It was a long train approx.20 x larger than the fireball . A white smoking train or tail. I thought it was a firework put on by Niagara Falls but it was moving in the wrong direction. It's light reflected off buildings that is why I thought it was pretty low in the sky.
