Remarks
The white ball started off looking like a bright star with bright glittering “antlers” all around it and it hovered quite high in the north west sky. Then it began to fall downwards rapidly. As it did, the “antlers” disappeared and the remaining white ball had a sort of flickering aura that looked like white and red and even green flames. The white ball appeared to split into two and then re-merge then disappeared behind cloud above the horizon.
