It was a huge bright flash with a burning looking trail following behind. There were 2 planes in the sky at the time and it was much lower than them

Bits of the fiery tail were coming away but the main body looked huge. And in one piece.
My partner also saw this and has said if she hadn't seen it herself she wouldn't believe it.
