Observer
Name Della D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was a formation of around 15-20 solid glowing yellow lights shooting across the sky from a westerly direction, almost like a flock of birds, all around the same large size, similar to arrowheads in shape, all pointing forward in the same direction. Both my husband and I were looking up into a clear dark sky with many visible stars, facing directly west. The shower appeared from a westerly direction, quite high up in the sky, shooting horizontally across the sky to our right, heading to the east. It was like seeing a collective group of large shooting stars but without the long trail - all moving together - they all glowed a very bright yellow colour, moving very fast, only lasting 2-4 seconds. We have never seen anything even remotely similar before, no sound, just a beautiful streak across the sky
