In the early hours of this morning at 00:30 GMT I witnessed an unusal shooting star. It was seen just North of Chelmsford, Essex with a South-to-North direction. It lasted a couple of seconds and was yellowish in colour. Its width was quite large and it was visible through the clouds. What was it? A satellite in polar orbit breaking up, perhaps?
Update: I wonder if it was this Chinese satellite which failed to launch, but the timing is three hours earlier?
