Can you tell me what kind of shooting star I saw

Hello,
Around 3.30 am this morning I saw a large, what I thought was a shooting star but it was much larger, not like those thin streaks I've seen before.
It was fast moving and kind of burst through the sky in the direction of 4 on a clock dial, streaked by with a tail but did not have a very long trailing tail or smoke I could see.
My complex is on a mountain top in New Jersey, in a populated area.
My window faces West, NW.

What do you think I saw?
Thanks.
