| Remarks | it appeared low in the sky, very bright , i thought it was a firework at first as it appeared to be that brightness and at that speed, but then i realised it was travelling horizontally across the sky and it didnt explode. It was greenish coloured travelling east to west, fragmented into 3 trails with 6 glowing white green bright objects in trails, these seemed to fade and the main object carried on in an easterly direction |
