Witness Testimony

"I first thought this might have been a airplane, but when it started dropping I knew it wasn't unless it was on fire(it left no trail of smoke) and was about to fall into the sea. As we live 5 km's from the sea.I have ruled out a comet, for I read there will only be two occurrences in 2014. And I've ruled out a meteor, because I have a slight idea what that could look like.The entire event lasted about 25 seconds I'd say. Was just next to the only star I could see this evening, did not have my mobile phone nearby to capture any picture unfortunately.All I saw was an orange bright light, bigger than the biggest star I have seen, slowly dropping, becoming less bright till it eventually disappeared.I'm reporting this event, out of sheer curiosity of what it could have been that I just saw, and if anyone else could have seen it. "
