Reported: 9/30/2003 1:59:16 PM 13:59
Posted: 10/7/2003
Location: Norwich (Norfolk) (UK/England),
Shape: Oval
Duration:1.5 seconds
Oval, Orange, very fast, high, although difficult to say how high due to clear night. Heading from SW to NE

Walking home after meeting friends, as it was a clear night stopped to admire the stars for a couple of minutes, and the object shot over at a temendous speed.

Have seen many meteors in the past and new this was not one, since no tail, and my object was a slight orangey colour. (No it wasn't mars). Really cannot see how it could have been a bird(illuminated from below) as I revisited the spot the next day and there is no way a bird could have covered the distance in that time as well as the fact it (the object seemed to high). Obect moved silently and covered approx 120 degrees of sky in >1.5 seconds.
