large Reddish White fireball coming through the foggy sky near Newark Airport.

On November 17th at 18:45 driving off exit 14 heading on to Route 78 west we saw a large Reddish White fireball coming through the foggy sky, going very fast on a 45 degree angle heading towards Newark airport. It was very foggy that night yet we could still see this object. My wife thought it might hit a plane that was landing.

After I passed the toll we could see a large tail of smoke in the foggy shy. What was a little weird was that the line was not straight but zigzagged back and forth. I checked the news and no one else reported this sighting.

My observation was that it might be a Meteor.
