| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrew F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I just happened to be looking in the right direction when a very bright intense light moved quickly across the sky from left to right, slightly losing altitude before breaking up into at least 2 parts, soon after breaking up the lights faded. it only lasted a couple of seconds from me first observing it until it broke up. I cannot be spot on with the time as I was not wearing a watch at the time and did not think to check the time when I got indoors, but it was about 15:30. |
