Shape: Flash

bright orange moving flash???

My girlfriend and i were driving through a suburb called werrington in the west of sydney ,it was a clear dark night around 10 or 12 pm..traffic was light and i was in the passanger side staring blankly ahead when all of a sudden an orange flash shot across the sky..i didn't say any thing to my girlfriend because i thought i was being paranoid.

A few moments later my girlfriend claimed she had seen a shooting star...

i said i also saw something but it was no star...it was too low and much too orange to be a shooting star or meteor.. we discussed it came to the conclusion that it was nothing we had seen before...it left no trails that shooting stars usually leave...
