Observer
Name Keith H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks To me it looked a high elevation because I was driving on that road heading towards the hills on a course of about North East to maybe a north North East direction and it caught me eye it was so bright and fell almost straight down with a slight twist to the northern direction and came in like a compass direction of South South East if that helps and the car I was driving has very good insulation it is a jaguar x-type 2.2 diesel 2008 model.
