Remarks It was like a fire work going in the wrong direction. Bright orange fire ball with a burning trail that burnt out as it got nearer to the horizon, almost the way a match a light match looks. The fire bunt out was gone in seconds and the black trail gone in another second or two. I thought it was a huge firework gone wrong, but there was no explosion or noise.
