| Name | Osman K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving in Highams Parks, London, or close by. I am not from the area and as I was driving I saw what I thought was a meteor, but a bright green / blue colour. It lasted about 15 seconds and was going at mega speed. It left a tail of light as it was moving forward, but couldn't tell if it was smoke or just light moving fast. It did disappear behind buildings was the last I saw of it. I know it wasn't a plane, as it was too bright, too fast, too close and big and left a tail as it did. It was clear sky in the evening so it stuck out. I am convinced it was a meteor or something of the nature. Definitely not a shooting star or anything alike. |
