I thought it was a firework quite low down, but moving slowly and there was absolutely no sound. I looked behind me to see it again about ten seconds after seeing it first time and couldn\'t see it. I was surrounded by buildings so it could have been obscured but I had the impression I could see enough sky if it was still there.
