| Name | Ross G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north bound on the A1, when the object first appeared it looked like a low aircraft coming in to land but travelling way too fast. On the initial siting there was a faint orange/yellow shower surrounding the main object that turned to a bright white/blue/green. The object appeared unlike any meteor shower I've seen, and was distinctive by the width length and brightness of the trail. It travelled for approx 4-5secs before disappearing. |
