Just now in the twighlight, it went down past the only star out at the mo
(Pole Star i guess). It was bright and big.

Are they normally viewable in twighlight?

Take a look at http://www.cloudbait.com/science/fireballs.html
If you think it might be a fireball, then report it.

The "star" you saw was probably the planet Mars. It's still one of the
brightest objects in the sky.
