Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw a bright glowing object in the sky above Stretford, Manchester at around 11:30 PM on June 2, 2025. It was electric blue with a touch of fuchsia, and looked like a glowing, nebulous orb descending vertically. It didn’t leave a trail—it appeared briefly and dissolved as it fell. It lasted only a few seconds and disappeared quietly. The night sky was clear and dark.
