I was merging onto 670E from Summit Street/campus area and the object appeared to my left. It was bright and it fell clumsily, not like a firework or other object one might see. It looked like a flaming car falling out the sky the way it tipped and turned.

Remarks
I live near the airport so I could be mistaken, but it seemed to last a long time and it didn't change location when I did the way a trail close to the earth would have.
