Remarks At first it was a sparkling long trail like a firework across the sky it was brighter and moved slower than normal shooting stars. Straight over head. lasted long enough for me to call my parents to see it. Then in it slowely fizlled out to leave a red dot which continued to shoot toward the horizon. (it must have passed through the atmosphere carried on so must have landed somewhere- in the North Sea - Norway?.) It was the biggest object I have ever seen and I have seeen many meteor showers.
Terminal flash
