Observer
Name Christine C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving north from Long Preston to Settle when I saw this. The road is elevated above the valley floor.It is a route I drive regularly so I am familiar with the lay of the land even though it was dark. I thought at first it might be the tail end of a low flying jet but just disappeared suddenly.
