Size of Object(s)2x size of north star Distance to Object(s) & Altitudeupper atmosphere? Shape of Object(s)small light Color of Object(s):blue-ish white Full Description & DetailsAt 12.15am on the night of 30/6/05 (morning of 1/7/05) i was stood on my back doorstep and looking at the stars, i noticed a bright light which looked like a large star except it was moving towards me from the southwest. I watched it for a couple of mins thinking it was a plane headlight although it was way up high and traveling fast. As it got nearer (though not noticably larger) i started to think it maybe wasn`t a plane as it didn`t change size, brightness or show any forward projection of light as a headlight would, i called my 22yo son and his 22yo cousin to take a look. We all watched it pass overhead and continued to watch until it dissapeared behind some light cloud cover of towards the northeast horizon. It traveled in a straight line except for one noticeable zig-zag it gave but never altered it`s course.It was the same colour as all the other stars we could see but about twice the size of the north star. It cleared the sky from horizon to horizon in roughly 5mins at very high altitude which tells me it was moving very fast. The light never changed appearence, brightness or size between coming towards me and going away from me which again would suggest it was not a plane headlight. Can you offer any suggestions as to what it may have been. Witness Background46yo male, service manager of small engineering company. Reported Sighting?NoYour Location:ManchesterAge:46 |
