Reports Report 322br (Event 322-2012)

Observer
Name David
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I remember looking up and seeing the glow and the orange line behind it, for a split second I thought it was a firework then when it never went bang I knew it was something else, I turned and watched it pass by in the sky for a long 20 seconds and I was amazed with what I saw. I\'ve never seen anything like this before other than a shooting star which was tiny in comparison and lasted only a fraction of a second.
