I was astonished at how low and how straight it was flying, that\'s why I had trouble trying to figure out what it was I was observing.

I saw a deep orange glow, it looked like a very fast jet flying at low level in a horizontal line. I didn\'t realise I was observing a meteor until I saw the reports in the news the next day.
