| Name | Tim B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I left the cinema and was walking home when I saw it. Decided it was not a plane because too high up and the tail stayed with the object (with planes they leave a trail behind but this object the trail stayed with the object). It was the tail I saw, not the object and it was about 10cm long from my position on the ground. It was moving very slowly so I could walk right the way along from St. Georges Approach, along Medina Avenue to the junction of Medina Avenue and Terrace Road. At this point it disappeared behind the houses. I looked at my watch as soon as I first saw it so I could research it on the internet and the time was 8.40. I observed it for 5 minutes starting high in the sky slightly to my right and ending right in front of me when it disappeared. |
