I was actually lying in bed when this occurred. Just streaked across the sky! Most beautiful thing I’ve seen in the night sky! I asked my neighbour if she’d seen it on cctv but it doesn’t go high enough. I hope someone has it on CCTV. Truly beautiful

Remarks
It was the lowest SS I’ve ever seen. Very large and the train behind was wide. It all appeared very white. Beautiful. I would say it wasn’t long before it would have exploded but it was out of my vision by then.
