It was rather slower than othet meteors I've seen but the flash was pretty awesome. I had headphones in so I don't really know if any sonic boom was made.

Remarks
It glowed white for a split second and appeared to leave smoke. However there was no moon and I was near street lights so I could not tell if the trail remained.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I thought it was a plane at first because it was traveling not much faster than one. But the flash was bright enough to see volume and not just a spec of light.
