| Remarks | There was a lot of low and thick cloud cover. The sky lit up through the clouds ,for a moment, I thought it was the moon, there was a red and maybe orange glow which seemed to come from behind this massive white light - it was almost the size of the full moon - it could have been the moon, if the moon was exploding, there were no obvious fragments coming off of it, just one thick, fast tail |
