It started high in the sky with an orange train then the train stopped and it was an orange circular glow. I looked at it through high powered binoculars and it was a big rock tumbling through the night sky towards the horizon to the south. Started in the north and burned out to the south. Observed it from the beach so I saw the entire sequence
