I witnessed the object from the corner of my eye falling from a perfect clear late summer eve sky into the sea of Cardigan Bay where I was looking out from a balcony, the speed was such as I turned my head it was visible for milliseconds disappearing into the sea. clear sky no light pollution it was unmistakeable - my dates times need firming up which I can do should it be required after all these years- I was on holiday at that location at the time it is a very quiet peaceful retreat.
