| Remarks | At first we thought this was an airplane, but it was too bright. It was moving very quickly and if it had been a plane it would have had to be very low. The colour was too orange for lights on a plane, and it was not flashing. It seemed to have a bit of a rounded cone tailing behind the light. Near the end it seemed to "go out", but there were also trees that may have obscured our vision. Unfortunately, the picture is terrible -- we were really taken by surprise -- but the object is visible near the the centre if you zoom in. |
