We saw a dark round fast moving object engulfed by fire/plasma that vanished

As we were checking out stars and constellations, we witnessed a round dark object streaking across the night sky at a very high rate of speed. It was visible only because of the fireball/plasma that fully engulfed it, and it's lines were not vague, but distinct.

In the front (foward section based on direction of travel), the plasma was sparse, heavier on the sides, and formed a tail in the rear that was approx. 50% of the size of the object itself. The object was travelling south to north (approx.). As the object entered our field of vision, it disappeared completely without changing any direction or speed.

The sky was not clear, but contained light, sparse cloud cover that I believe helped us to see it better.

Altitude is unknown, but it was either under/in the clouds, or very bright/ burning through from above the clouds.
