yea, it was amazing, it had a hugh persistant trail behind, wasnt traveling that fast either, the instant I saw it through the corner of my eye I thought it was a plane, it was going very slow for a meteor, it lasted easily 3 or 4 seconds and also had a very striking orange colour , almost like the amber you'd see in the traffic light. It wasnt white with an orange hue, its colour was like Mars at a close opposition, just not as red.
It started to the right of the plough, flew through lynx, then above capella by about 3 degrees and dissapeard by the auriga-perseus border.
If ever I saw something that might have reached the ground, this is the one as it appeared to glisten and fragment towards the end. It was easily mag -4.
I've seen many bright and brighter meteors but never anything like this,
I wonder does its colour and slow speed signify that it's some manmade debris re-entering the atmosphere ?
BTW, thats a nice scope there Roy, easily collimatable aswell.
