| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was with my friend who also saw it. It happened extremely quickly but we were both very shocked by what we saw. It didn't seem to move across the full sky but more so seemed to "light up" where I indicated in the diagram about halfway up the sky, and was moving downwards towards the horizon, and then it went below the skyline of what was visible of the buildings in front of us. It was completely silent, and nothing was visible in the sky after wards. |
