Full Description & Details

Last night Sept. 29, 2005 I saw something I had never ever seen before. It was a orange/red type comet looking object with a long tail of what looked like fire. There was a round front to it and it was much lower than a plane and far too low to be a star. It was also very large. I actually waited to hear an explosion, thinking it must have been a plane on fire. I searched for news reports, found nothing. Anyone else witness this?
