| Name | Caroline B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Yes, I was listening to music at the time & for some reason I looked up at the kitchen window. In that moment, what I saw was incredible, a very bright streak of light heading towards the ground, extremely fast. I rushed outside but saw nothing else, so I wondered if I'd witnessed a shooting star. I txt my daughter the following day to tell her of the incredible sight I'd seen. It was only when she sent me a news link, that explained the events in the sky on Sunday night, that I realised what I had witnessed. It was a wonderful sight even though it lasted only a couple of seconds. To clarify, I was facing South at the time & the " extremely bright object" was heading very close to the ground. I hope this helps you. Regards Caroline |
