We saw what looked like a huge meteor with a long tail flying over the sky in Forfar Angus tonight and it was huge. It lasted about 10-15 seconds and looked like a firework with a huge tail. It was so bright and amazing to watch. I imagine lots of people saw it.

Ed ~ This was probably not either of the two Chang Zheng rocket bodies due to re-enter.

And a bit of confusing observations...
