It was a surreal experience. I was just looking at 3 commercial planes in the sky straight up i could see there flashing wing lights. Then suddenly I spotted this bright object from my left heading my way at a very fast speed. It got bigger as it got closer and was bright white in colour with a trail behind it, bright enough to make me squint my eyes a little. It flew over my head and the angle looked like it started to arc downwards then there was a flash of white light which turned into several white trails then it it just disappeared. It seemed to happen so fast and something ill not forget. Hopefully my explanation helps ive never seen anything like this before. And the speed of it was crazy.
