I have thought what else this could have been , And there is absolutely nothing else I can think of. It was sooooo close! Glad it wasn’t bigger. But so glad I got to see it.

Quite startling, it was just above the trees, it must not have been very large but the tail was so close I could see the individual embers as they burned out. It must have ended up pretty close by.
