Orange, green fiery ball impacts outside of Cape Canaveral / Kennedy Space Center

Anyone see the green/orange fiery ball fall from the sky last night? Meteorite? It was between 1:30am and 2:30am some time. This was really quick, but very odd. Living next to the space center, we are fortunate enough to see the rockets go up, and some times come down - these days on purpose, mostly. I've seen a landing of the reusable rockets from SpaceX right here in our backyard, and this thing was almost as big and bright - a bright, fiery ball of green/orange light came down much faster (if you've seen the rockets land, they come down fast) - but it didn't slow at the end like the rocket. It was like it came down as an impact, but once it "impacted" beyond the line of sight, there was no sound. As a matter of fact, there was no sound at all. I was expecting some kind of impact. It lasted a whole two seconds, maybe, and that was that.

Anyone else see this, know anything about it, or maybe what it might have been? Meteorite?
