| Name | Paul K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have been a keen amateur photographer for many years, I like to think I have a sharp eye, open mind and rational head! ...I was putting out rubbish and took a look up at stars as I often do here.. very little ambient light so eyes quickly adapt.... Decided if it wasn't a meteorite... It could only be an airliner in flames tearing through the sky... !! I'd much rather know it was a meteorite. |
