Or it could be invaders from another planet!

..... Yes, that's what it is!

Falling meteor most likely. Me & my brother saw similar thing some years back at our cottage. Shooting star went under the horizon and there was a flash, pretty cool I must say.

And maybe a month ago I saw a shooting start that lasted from 6 to 8 seconds, was cool too.

I saw one simular to your experience when i was a kid,on newyearseve.

Most amazing thing i ever saw,especially as it was travelling at relatively slow speed across my field of view it must have lasted about 10 seconds or something..and it was definately no fireworks it was very high up in the atmosphere.My theory is that it bounced of the atmosphere and was slowed down dramatically,the enormous heat from the friction burned it up.It must have been really big because i could see it with the naked eye.

I guess you were lucky to see one,i spend hours outside in the meteor shower season only to see one an hour at most,and they are all in a blink of an eye sightings.

I remember watching a slow moving meteor burn up during the daylight once, that was pretty awesome

No Reece, because first, they would not choose Portugal. After a period of time, they would go nuts about living here. Secondly, they already try it, but we mistake a contact of an alien being to the aparition of the virgin mary talking to 3 little shepeards...

I only saw meteorites doing "flares" and "long tails" in one of those famous shooting stars phenomenons from time to time, this one I was 12 or 13. My grandmother remembers one from she was a child and saw it again. I only saw "normal" ones (small, like very tiny comets in the sky) and saw once object that did a bue trail.
Like this, never, but I saw the flash, the girls are the lucky ones, they saw everything!
Thanks for the awnsers!

Meteorite.
They can be bright enough to cast shadows.

yea... I saw something similar to this afiew years ago... during the day, when we were on the road.

I looked up, and there was a big streek of flameing bright yellow thing going through the sky horizontaly, at high speeds.
