last night at around 9.30pm I went out in my back yard to let my dog out, as soon as I opened the door I saw a large orange light like aplanet, it was standing still. I shouted my mother who I live wit to come out quickly as it started moving slowly south, then it turned and started going north towards durham city.it sort of had a short fire trail behind it.My mum when seeing it said "it looked like a plane on fire?, yet I thought it looked like a planet. I ran in house to get camera and I couldnt find it, so grabed my phone to take a picture.In sky it was moving very slowly yet in phone camera lense it was shooting about very quickly like a orb. I caputred light, yet its only small dot on camera and white not orange like to eye.It was moving slowly, yet I was in a panic trying toget camera etc and it seem to be over very soon afterwards.Mam and I didnt say much as I think we were both shocked. I know theres an explaination somewhere.has anyoneelse seen this in the county durham area of durham or anyone anywhere?.angela
