| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I initially assumed this was an aircraft, but realised the altitude looked too low, trajectory not right and too fast. Very bright, solid trail. Yellowish edging at the front going into a creamy solid colour before front ‘flattening out’, appeared to widen at the front before disappearing from front to back. |
