orange glow

was in the garden talking on the phone to my bird when i saw a bright orange glow appear in the sky (12/07/2009), i was totally stunned and immediately thought it was a plane on fire about to crash. as it got nearer i could not see any smoke and called my mother out to have a look, the object remained bright orange as it passed over, no flashing lights and it was about as high in the sky as a passenger plane. It moved as fast as a plane roughly but with no noise.
