Slow moving meteor

Last night I had the binoculars out just doing a little observing when a meteor went across the sky. Now this meteor went fairly slowly from east to west and was in view for about 5 secs or so, it left an orange wake which looked like sparks behind it.
All the other meteors I have seen are very quick and dont last very long except one notable meteor about 10 years ago which burnt bright green.

Anyone else see it?

Should have mentioned that it was about 11ish last night.
