| Name | Colin P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking out of my bedroom window (fresh air with a clear night) , when I saw what looked like a large firework rocket going up in the distance. Thought this was strange at 5 am and waited , only to follow this very same trail coming towards my direction at a speed I have never seen anything travel before. It seemed too low to be compared with the stars and had a steady long and quite easy to see glistening yellowy trail. My sighting lasted only 7- 8 seconds before going over the house. Having only ever seen tiny shooting stars before, I was shocked and excited at this sighting and will never forget it. |
