If a meteor was still a visible fireball (bolide), that would mean that it was still traveling at hypersonic speeds. If it was one or two thousand feet up, it would have passed by you in a fraction of a second, and you would have possibly had your internal organs turned to jelly by the shockwave. Think Chelyabinsk (which shattered windows and set off car alarms) but much, much closer. If you saw a bolide, it was tens of miles up.
