Leading part of object was very bright. Looked like a firework but moved like a fast moving plane. Looked to be relatively close to the ground compared to other celestial objects.

Remarks
It looked like a firework with a sparkly trail behind it. Definitely not a contiguous tail. Looked like space debris burning up on entry.
