I'm not sure how long it was visible, it came from behind me and I was facing the way it was traveling. It may have been traveling (up right to down left) now that I think about it. More across the sky than directly up to down as I originally submitted. It started white then changed colors to orange before it burned out. I could definitely see the smoke trail as it was burning out. It looked so close to the houses and I remember waiting to see if it was going to burn out before it hit something.
