Weird fireball that just diappeared without fanfare and followed up by 4 fighters.

Say it streak east to west. The news said a few others reported it. It moved very fast yet no sonic boom and no burn up. Just a massive fast fireball that just disappeared rather then break or blow up. Not like any other re-entry oblect I have ever seen. About 20 mins later I saw 2 F-16s come from the south and 2 EA-6b Prowlers come from the North to the area I saw it.
