| Observer | |

| Name | Jim H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have put out a FB request for anyone who may have seen it but haven't had many sensible responses or corroboration. I just happened to be stood at my side door as I let my dog into the garden, looked up and saw it, too slow to react to getting my phone out. I am checking to see if there are any reports of aircraft accidents at this time, as it looked like what I would imagine, apart from the levelness above the clouds, and linear path it continued rather than any curving/ falling. |
