Observer
Name David M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I live on the seafront with a very open view. I first saw the object out the corner of my eye to the North. It was fairly low and on a gentle downward trajectory. I watched it cross over the island of Arran sparkling blue and green with a longish white tail. Lost sight of it as it traversed the Kintyre Peninsula still some height above the horizon.
