Reports Report 278d (Event 278-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Neil W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Whole object was bright green not just the trail, being ex military I thought it was a flare, was just as bright but travelling faster. As a serving Police officer I've seen some strange things but this is the brightest night time object I've ever seen in the sky hence why I felt the need to report it. If I could hazard a guess that from my position on the A127 heading west towards London it looked like the object/meteor can downwards from a 2 o'clock position and towards Romford Essex. |
