What was the fiery object in the sky over the Cotswolds tonight?

At about 8.40 this evening we watched a fiery disk travel across the sky above Tetbury in the Cotswolds. It was travelling too quickly to be a balloon and was travelling across the sky at similar speeds to an aeroplane. It also seemed similar in size to an aeroplane to the naked eye, though it was clearly aflame. It was quite difficult to focus on, however, which may suggest it was higher than a plane. Any suggestions as to what it may have been?What was the fiery object in the sky over the Cotswolds tonight?
The ISS crossed the sky at about 8:15, taking about 5 minutes from horizon to horizon. It is very bright (much brighter than Jupiter) and tonight was a very clear sky - well it was 100 miles north of you anyway. I saw both that pass and the next one at about 9:45 which went into the earth's shadow half way across.





Meteors are only visible for a few seconds, so they don't fit your description of ';similar speed to a plane'; but the ISS does cross the sky at about the same apparent speed as a high flying plane, though it is much brighter than most plane lights and it doesn't have any flashing or colored lights..What was the fiery object in the sky over the Cotswolds tonight?
9.10pm last night (Monday 14th September) over Portobello, Edinburgh. Heading north over Fife and ascending. Object looked like an oblong with bulging sides, it appeared translucent and contained clearly visible flames. It seemed quite close initially as it resembled a lampshade (in fact I thought it was a reflection in the window except it was much larger than ours) but took only a few minutes to appear as a fiery dot high up in the distance before we lost sight of it. It was not a balloon, or an aeroplane, or a meteor. Couldn't see if there was any more to its shape as it was dark and cloudy outside.
a meteor like the thousands that burn up in our atmosphere everyday
+Congrats on seeing a fine meteor! Hopefully, you got some nice video of it!
