I thought it might be pertinent to point out that fireballs, missile launches, flaming meteors, spaceships reentering, planes on fire trailing smoke etc are quite regularly attributed to normal passenger jets leaving contrails in early morning or late afternoon sun. A classic example was the infamous Los Angeles "Missile" with "flaming tail" which in fact was a ups transport with bright sun reflection and a contrail.

Similarly an airliner flying over Peru misidentified as a fireball.

With supposedly expert commentators like ex-airforce commanders claiming such things to be missiles or fireballs when they are in reality just afternoon/morning light effects on normal jets , it would probably be premature to ascribe too much importance to an inexpert observer on a yacht reporting an orange light and a smoky trail on an aircraft in early morning.
