Observer
Name Linda A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was logged into flightradar24 at the time. I was in the top attic room (highest view in dover). I looked out to see an aircraft that was passing over when straight ahead above Dover channel was a orange bright star like object. I checked behind me in the room incase it was something being a reflection on the window, but no I then opened the sash window & it was as real & descending down towards the sea rapidly. I had to question myself & waited as it disappeared from my view for I guess any type of explosion etc. but nothing. I would like to be shared with what this was as have just become so amazed with space / astronomy etc. Kind regards Linda. 27-03-2017
