Full Description & Details
The objest first appeared to the east as a flash in the sky which drew out attention to it. the night was dark with clear sky and no moon so stars were bright as polution there was minimal. The object suddenly got brighter which got out attention, as it came rapidly nearer. Almost quicker that it takes to tell it passed by behind our house about 200 yards away absolutely horizontally at very high speed at what must have been very low height as it momentarily passed behind our house. then in an instant it was gone from sight to the west. It was a fairly large glowing sphere with a pointed fiery tail about 3 times it's length. It was certainly near to us as we did feel a compression of air as it passed so it was definitely not a "Shooting Star", and as it was going horizontal to the earth it obviously was not crashing as there was no reports of such happening
. In later life I joined the Royal Air Force, and I became a pilot for 24 years ( including 12 years on helicopters) and have seen many aerial objects, of many shapes, but never one like this one was. It was in the air, flying, and definitely un identified so to me this was a definite UFO.

Definitely not. No moon and I dont know of any plannet that an go that fast at 2-300 feet above the ground.
Personal Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting
Before i had never heard of a UFO. in later years I have seen three and believe they are something of substance and not mythical. I have read much and bought several videos, and am open minded and not a sceptic.
