Fireball or Comet?

I went outside and and i noticed a huge streak in the western sky
around 6:30pm, it had a huge head at first, i ran inside to get my cam
and got back outside and noticed the head was smaller. Realized no
battery in cam so i went to get battery then by this time the head was
smaller again and now it was going down behind a house and couldn't
get a shot so i got in my car and drove to a nearby lake and captured
a few photos. I'm not sure what it was. Time span from first photo to
the last was about 15 mins or so. Images taken with a canon digital
rebel 350D with a 75mm to 300mm canon lens at full zoom, second pic
was cropped.

Images were taken from Newfoundland, Canada by Eddie Roberts on Oct 22
