| Name | Georgia P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was clear to my left. It was a clear night. I was driving around 60mph on a motorway, but it was very light traffic so quite dark. Dry weather, seen for only a couple of seconds but it appeared low, quite large, and very bright white. No discernible sounds. Appeared slightly above the tree line travelling almost horizontally to my left. Did not cross in front of my field of vision (ie, seen to the left, passenger side window, did not cross in front of the windscreen view at all) |
