The brightest I have ever seen. This seemed lower in the sky than any ‘shooting star.’ The sighting was while watching a film at an outdoor cinema. The 100 strong crowd lept out of their seat and gasped at the sighting to the left of the screen. The buzz of excitement in the crowd lasted a few minutes, emphasising that this was a rare sighting!
