Name | KATE R |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | I am submitting this as the first news I can find about the sightings show them to only be in the East of the country.....however my partner, who is away and unable to submit today, would be a better judge of the event as he saw it more clearly than me. I will get him to fill out the questionnaire tomorrow.....so there may be some slight vagaries in my account. |

Observation | Yes |
Remarks | We were actually woken by sounds that got us up BEFORE the sighting, which appeared approx 15-30 secs later. The sounds were like something being dragged over the gravel driveway or a large animal rustling in the heap of dried leaves under the trees. No security lighting had come on so we stared into the darkness before seeing what we could only think was a meteor. It was huge but silent. |
