There certainly wasn't a bang or a flash. As it was following on from the orange lights - themselves probably planes - it just seemed a bit unusual. As I was informed at work, it wasn't a Close Encounter as I was obviously able to sit down!

There is also the Norfolk & Suffolk Rocketry Association, plus something called "Slack Pete's Rockets" in Ipswich ("The UK's Most Laid-Back High-Power Rocketry Supplier"). <br /><br />If down (or "across") then I have certainly seen meteors myself that left a smoky trail (and audibly fizzed, too)<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.com
