was bright white and glowed a bit green too. had a large orange tail. was sitting watching tv and thought it was a weird thing in the sky maybe a helicopter or plane. went to the window and then thought it was a firework. changed my mind quite quickly tho that it wasnt. said to my girlfriend to come quick and look. By the time she looked the white ball had gone past and all that was visible was the tail. Then ran to the back door to look out the back door. unlocked the back door and seen it disappear behind the houses behind that are a bit higher up than this one. No noise was present at all
