Slower moving that other boloides I have seen. This was a possible satellite burnup. It crossed over the UK about 200 miles north so I suspect I may have been the only person so far south to have observed it, low on the horizon. It appeared for a short time in clear sky between clouds and glowed through the clouds which is what alerted me to it.
