| Remarks | Hi, I have been searching for an answer to what I saw last night and I think a fireball most closely matches. I dont know for sure what I saw but it was the brightest light I have ever seen in the sky, it almost fell out of the sky vertically for a few seconds and then disappeared. It was moving exceptionally fast. Obviously I saw this very close to Exeter airport (a couple of miles away as the crow flies) but I am 1000% sure it wasnt a plane or helicopter. I see aircraft all the time and this wasnt one. It was so bright, like nothing I have ever seen before. |
