Reports Report 3126a (Event 3126-2013)

Observer
Name Steve B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Spotted by several people at the retail park. Caused some distraction. Would have watched for longer but went behind building I was next to. Definitely not an aircraft as this looked like a solid mass of glowing colour on an object that was misshapen. Also, moving extremely fast compared to speed of aircraft.
