| Name | Steve J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object moved directly from east to west. I live under the transatlantic flight path in S Wales and often view objects and stars from my back garden on clear nights. I,m guessing here but about 2-3 miles due east from my first sighting of the light was a comercial aircraft. The aircraft was travelling in the opposite direction as light on a West to East direction and guessing the aircraft will have saw the light as it was very bright indeed. I posted a time of 6:pm but that is a guess as didn't check the time on seeing the light. The light looked very very high in the sky. Prehaps aircraft height or more, but that's a guess |
