Was utterly amazed at what I saw - I had no idea what it was. I\'m used to seeing low flying militarly aircraft above where I live but this was nothing like anything I\'ve ever seen before and could find no explaination for it. I was beginning to think I\'d seen an UFO!!! Only when watching the news on BBC this morning did I realise what it was.

Remarks
It didn\'t change, just the same bright orange colour throughout. It looked like a firework but didn\'t fade
