| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home and I noticed the clouds to the south got really bright, like a flash. Initially I thought it was lightning however as I turned towards my home I saw what appeared to be a meteor falling down, like a shooting star falling and leaving a smoke trail. Apologies if this is nothing, but thought it's better to be safe than sorry. Also sorry for the poor photo, it is just of the reminisce of the smoke trail (just next to the chimney in the middle) but thought it might be useful if it was one. If it was / wasn't then please let me know! Thanks, Lewis |
