Descripton of sighting:
At around 6:20 PM (GMT), saturday, February the 4th, in northern Portugal (Porto) I was walking my dog and in my peripheral vision I see a bright light coming down in the sky, I look at it and it looked like a fireball with a sparkling trail behind it, it was in the sky for what felt like 6 seconds. At first I thought it was fireworks but there was no boom. I immediately thought of being just a big shooting star and was bummed I couldn't get it on camera. 

Right after that I notice a wobbling object travelling from Northwest to Southeast. This object slowed down, then accelerated at high speeds in another direction. I was so confused and, I must confess, a bit scared, because it had no trail, no flashing lights, and its flight path was something I had never seen an aircraft do before, as you will see in the video.

I don't know if the ''fireball'' had anything to do with it but it felt like a big coincidence it happened right before I saw the object.
