| Name | Pam S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Something caught my as I was watching TV and casually looked up thinking it would be a helicopter, as they often land and take off near where I live and I see the lights n the sky at night. I did a double take as I had looked away before I realised it wasn't the lights from a helicopter. It was so big and bright, I didn't know what it was. It disappeared behind the tall trees at the bottom of my garden and I was stunned. We opened the French door to listen for any sounds as I didn't know if it was a plane on fire and was quite concerned. I still can't believe what I saw and can't see any photos on-line of how it looked. |
