Default Do Aeroplanes Have BRIGHT Orange lights at night ?

Missus just called me into the garden, a mahoosive BRIGHT ORANGE light in the sky, it was at say, 10 o clock in the sky and gradually made its way in a curved fashion to 2 o clock in the sky then just went twinkle twinkle poof and was gone, took about 5 mins in total.

i though it was a plane, but was not like any plane light at night ive seen.

we have mobile footage but doesnt do it justice

weird

Doubt a jet would be using afterburner over land. Dont think they are allowed to, certainly cant break the sound barrier over land

Cheers for the input guys.

Dont think it was a jet of any lond, far too slow, as for the meteor shower, this is 1 single orange ball,not a shower or anything like it, heres another vid found after some googling 11 days ago by someone else in the same location.

UFO orange ball seen in the skies above gloucester uk

Shockwave can break windows and the sound would scare old people, kids and pets.

Wouldn't be a meteor - they usually flash by in less than a second. Trail can sometimes remain if it's a bright one.
Wouldn't be a comet, they're usually visible for days/weeks at a time and there aren't any around at the mo that are that bright.

Only if it did a low level pass over your house and you had really sh*t windows.

They can and do fly with the afterburners on. You'd hear it though

Never understood it myself, after all there's possibly hundreds of explanations as to what people see yet they go for the most unlikely, aliens
