| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Footage does not capture full flight; I initially saw the object in the rear view mirror as a glow and saw it pass over to the left as shown. As noted, Green in colour with yellow sparks from trail; Luminosity comparable to a flare or firework (Though clearly not, due to angle of incidence and speed) |
