Guest468 (guest): hi,at around 03:40 GMT here in Manchester UK I saw what seemed like a big fireball in the sky. It was definitely not a plane (too high up and too big), it was bright orange and travelling at a reasonable speed. I followed it for about 3 minutes then it faded into the horizon. Any ideas of what it might be? Thanks.
Reply- A meteor would not be visible for three minutes; my guess would be the ISS or a plane.

I live in Colorado Springs, right next to the city airport. I work nights and on the way home from work my friend and I saw a bright ball of light(that sparked maybe when hitting the atmosphere?) falling from the sky. It had two parallel tails that where prism colored, and the complete tail was more eye-shaped than straight. It was horizon level and from our distance seemed light the size of a street light from half a football field away...it was huge. Have you heard of anything??
