perhaps it was a flare

Sunday night approx 21.10 in approx south west sky I viewed just about the
brightest "shooting star" I've ever seen, even compared to dark skies in
Australia & Indonesia. All I've really seen before is small bright white
lights crossing the sky but this was large and initialy glowed orange
around
the edges and over a period of a couple of seconds dimmed to a small point
of white light. Considering I viewed this with the naked eye in twighlight
in the light polluted skies of Milton Keynes I'm guessing it could of been
quite big. Did anyone see this or can you give me an explanation.

Thanks
