| Observer | |

| Name | Lee F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This happened above my house facing East South East: the trajectory was towards Dutch/German border. There was no sound but it was a huge, white flash from a very wide tail. My roof blocked my sight so I moved East and looked back, West, and there was an extremely long 'cloud' that was dissipating quickly. |
