Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I really don't know if it was a fire ball or a shooting star. But what I witnessed was a ball of bright light slightly bigger than a star, when I looked up it was still within miller seconds it moved for approx 2 -3seconds before completely disappearing. I stood there gobsmacked at what I have just seen then I found this site to document it. please can you let me know what it was ?. Thanks
