Observer
Name Rachel
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was a white ball with red flashing at the front at times. The tail was white Almost looked like it sparked. There were flashes of blue. I could not get the directions to work- I was facing North. I saw it in the Skye coming from the north east going south west. It went behind houses, thus I did not see landding/end. I am not entirely sure what I saw.
