Yesterday, 7th Oct 08. Wolverhampton/Dudley border 21:05 approx, facing
east. A very bright, and far larger light than I thought anything had a
right to be, went streaking from the south east (Birmingham direction) and
away to the north (over Wolverhampton) in a position I can only say was
closer to chimneypots than zenith.
The whole thing took about two seconds.

And can anyone hazard a guess at what it was?

http://www.imo.net/calendar/2008#gia - A Draconid? But Draco was
more to the North (I don't know quote where the radiant is). It
sounds much too fast for a re-entry. A sporadic meteor?
