Remarks There was NO trailing light on the object I and my wife saw; it looked like a plane flying at \"low level\" with one engine on fire it had \"spitting\" sparks with small flames as the trail. I reported it to the Police who had received many more calls from the area and they had also set up an incident room to handle the calls. They said that the two large local airports had not identified an object in the sky at that time, do meteors show on radar? I have seen unexplained lights in the sky before, but not like this. When the reports came in further south in England it shows an object with a white trailing light, did I see the same object!. There was no sound what so ever when we went into our rear garden.
