| Remarks | It was a great moment. It initially seemed like a very fast, bright moving plane. I had a view from a large, south-west facing window. It took a completely straight trajectory, down towards land from SW to NW. Initially I thought it then might be a firework given the green trail. After about 3-4 seconds it just disappeared while still in my field of view. There was no explosion and having travelled in that direction I knew it had to have come from a high elevation and couldn't have been a firework. The trail lagged and lasted about one second behind the original, bright object. |
