Reports Report 1202axm (Event 1202-2021)

Observer
Name Mike A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My view of the object was through a window and so it's initial appearance and subsequent disappearance was blocked by the frame, hence it's duration may have been longer than I have recorded here. In truth it looked like a light aircraft was coming down in flames. By the time I had got outside and crossed the road to follow its path (our line of houses blocked my view) it had already disappeared from sight. On returning to my house I did note a smaller secondary flash in the sky directly above me (same colour, less than a second in duration and heading north east).
