| Name | Jade Y |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was an incredible experience for me. We were driving in the car and my partner was driving looking right as the road curves right, I was in the passenger seat (left side) and saw this huge bright glowing ball with a small trail behind it right ahead of us before we had to curve right to follow the road. It looked so bright/hot in the dark sky right above the field in the park, I saw it for about 5 seconds as we moved in the opposite direction to the way it was travelling. When I looked back over my shoulder it was gone. I feel someone must have seen this because it was so clear and not incredibly high in the sky, it looked like if it was to keep on going in less than 10 seconds it would crash straight into the park. It was circular, bright white slightly yellow and had an orange tinge around the edges. |
