| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mike W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I live in an area of very low light pollution so I am used to seeing shooting starts, the (ISS) Space Station and numerous satellites flying about the sky but this was an amber coloured fire ball heading SW at about 45% "Amazing" Unfortunately I was driving South at the time of the sighting and I was on a motorway so I couldn't stop but despite the temperature being about 8 degrees centigrade, I opened the window and listened for a boom but along with engine, tyre and other traffic noise, I head nothing. |
