Sound like a weird effect I see from here on occasion.

When I see it, it looks similiar to a thin comet and shines a bright orange and can stay for 20 - 30 mins until it dissappears into the darkness.

The ones I occasionally see are jets heading towards Adelaide and as they head into the colder air way out on the western horizon they start to leave a Contrail with gives them the appearance of a thin Comet Tail. Then as the sun sets it glows a beatuiful orange then eventually gets lost into the dark sky.

Maybe you have seen the same effect.
