Remarks
my fiance saw the whole thing cos he was looking in the direction - he said it looked like a camera flash; i was looking to the left; it occurred to the right but i saw it out of my peripheral vision & asked him did he see a spot of orange in the sky - which totally freaked me out cos i have never seen anything like that before; i asked him how big did he think it was & he said not as big as the sun - probably a little smaller than the moon.
