I was sitting in a pub opposite a window and myself and a friend saw it travelling east to west across the window. It was very bright and caught the attention of both of us immediately. It was very slow, slow enough for us to talk about it before it went out of our sight - but we had limited viewing space so by time I ran outside it had gone.

Remarks
The train seemed to be made up of several pieces, almost like flaming beads on a piece of string. It was glowing orange and moved very slowly across the sky from east to west (the front of the \'meteor\' appeared green at first). I didn\'t see the full duration of the meteor/train as I was viewing it through a window and it had gone by the time I got outside.

Observation
No
Remarks
As it moved across the sky it clearly was made up of many different fragments. They didn\'t fall vertically though, they followed the \'meteor\' in a train horizontally across the sky.
