Compared to the Great Daylight Fireball it's almost exact speed. I don't 
see much difference in speed at all. The reason you don't see smoke is 
some kind of filtering on the video.

Compare these:

And This:

These are two videos taken of the exact same fireball at different 
distances. Hence the reason they appear to be at different speeds.

The Middlesex video show a fireball that is MUCH further away, and they 
camera is using filtering (Sepia?) and that is obscuring the smoke train.

This is an Earthgrazer and is now probably a fusion crusted asteroid if 
it left our atmosphere.
