I'm betting it's an Iron, Personally I don't think there's too much smoke, (look at the classic Skihote Alin painting for example!)

What is strange is that in quite a few videos of the fireball there seems to be some odd features what I can only describe as 'puffs of extra fast smoke' spontaneously appearing almost like mini explosions along the trajectory as it travels. Maybe these are just shock fronts or water vapour from the supersonic trail, but ive not seem them before...

Hmm, but why there is double smoke trail ? Its unusual

Hey
I dont know but this looks to me like big space junk, not a meteor. Too slow, too much smoke, no fragmentation like for example on Peekskill video. This will be interesting what did they find on the ground. Anyway I hope it will be 10 ton lunar :D

There is a report of 100 people being injured, none seriously, and
two photos of a "zinc factory" (maybe a galvanizing factory) which
was hit and damaged.

This video shows the smoke trail:

Two YouTube videos which are better quality originals compared to the
derivative versions in the news reports:
