|---|---|
| Name | Peter S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Sat at traffic lights in the car.. It was bright went across right to left.. Lost track of it due a large hedge to my left.. Too fast for a plane, too slow for a meteor, constant brightness with a long glowing tail (so couldn't be a lantern). I'm not sure if I saw fragments or not.. Because I was sat in the car, I don't know if reflection played a part.. It was definitely there though because I was moving my head trying to get a better look and the angle etc did not change which would have if it was a reflection. |
