| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrew T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | While driving on the A458 in a south east direction I was suddenly aware of a green ball of light to my right and a little ahead of me. I watched it for a few seconds as it moved forwards through the sky at a constant speed, while descending at a low gradient. There were minor sparks and then it vanished, like a candle snuffed out. The green colour was like the green you sometimes see in a gas flame, or a green spark from an electrical item. |
