Date of Sighting: 12th July 2009
Time: 10.14pm

Witness Statement: I popped out to the back garden for a cigarette and there was a large object in the sky traveling very fast. It looked like a ball of fire and was traveling approx 3 x the speed of an aeroplane. I called my girlfriend who came out and also saw it. She thought it was an aeroplane on fire! I asked her to run and get the camera but she took ages, I watched it move along the sky until it was completely out of sight. Considering how bright it was and how clearly I could see it, it must have been really moving! There was not a cloud in the sky, I have seen many planes and helicopters and this was definitely something I have not seen before!! Did anyone else see this or has anyone got an explanation??
