| Name | joyce |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | from the angle i\'d seen it passing over, i thought it was heading directly for the East Lomond hill, 4 miles or so away. Given that it passed over \'me\' when i was taking a break in the back garden, watching the night sky, having just been watching \'Independence Day\' and thereby pondering over the possibilities..... it felt slightly scary, quite surreal, very close, and very personal! |
