Default Something breaking up west of Calgary

Anyone see the 4 large streaks of smoke in the sky and a fireball ahead of them falling to earth? Any info or ideas as to what it is?

We saw it trying to get on to Deerfoot north from McKnight. I took a picture but don’t know how to upload it.

Uploaded pic, but from iPhone camera you can’t really see the fireball as it was probably quite far away. Thanks to OMG!WTF!

Could be a meteor, or re-entering space debris, though I don't see anything listed as re-entering today.

I saw them/it. I had kind of been watching them off and on for a bit. They were contrails that had drifted over time closer to each other very far west of here. Like over top of the mountains. I saw no fireballs.
