It was a bright white colour with a orange-yellow glowing rim; there was also a bright blue tail, probably three fingers width (at outstretched arm) in length. No fragmentation or lingering train was observed. No immediate or subsequent noise was heard, or if subsequent noise was present it wasn’t discernable from usual noise of urban industry, traffic and airport noise.
