Slow moving fireball

Hi all I'm new here,

Yesterday evening at around 7:45pm after washing my car I saw a slow moving fireball in the north sky about 30-45 deg up from horizon (sorry about the n00b lingo)... it was very clear to the naked eye and it was just bordering on twilight. Could see a faint trail from the bright red-orange object.

It was moving towards NW but it disappeared behind some dark clouds. Viewed from Penrith.

Wondering if anyone hear saw it as well?

I'm not sure what it was but I'm sure it wasn't a meteorite as it moved slower than 'shooting stars'. What could it be?

Mike.

** EDIT: Was this what I saw?
