Sounds a lot like a meteor; compare this to the videos made of the big
meteor that moved across the US a few years back, they show a golden
glob breaking up, slowly moving across the sky (I think there were
some reports of sound too). My guess is that you saw a meteor breaking
up in the atmosphere, space junk isn't that common.
