I was in a friend\'s garden chatting but I was the first to notice it then we all saw it progress and break down and burn up. As I said I am unsure of the angles exactly but I\'ve done my best!

The object was moving across the sky pretty quickly and I\'m unsure as to my angles of view being completely accurate! It was a bright orange light with no train that had little orange bits that got brighter break off it over the course of 3-5 secs then it disappeared
