Two bright lights that appeared to be aircraft lights low in the sky but noticeably silent. Both moving east to west at the speed of an aircraft. The lead light trailed a long trail of fire with what looked like sparks (similar to a bonfire). Orange being the dominant colour. Total time about 12 seconds. The second light had no trail. Lost sight behind a building. Ran up the road to get to a gap in the building and by then could see nothing. No sounds detected. Witnessed by a friend.
