| Remarks | I’ve seen little shooting stars before, like brief lines of light, but this was like a fireball - it was like nothing I’d seen before. I wouldn’t have believed it was a shooting star but my mum reported a sighting so similar around the same time but about 13 miles away from where I was (WD3 7NP) and it seemed like too much of a coincidence. So I Googled shooting stars spotted today and found this form. I hope this is helpful. |
