Date of Sighting: 15 July 2009
Time: Approx 11.20pm

Witness Statement: I was enjoying a peaceful few minutes outdoors with my dog. A relatively clear sky, just a hint of thin whispy cloud in places. Saw a moving object going from West to East above my house but quite a way high up. What grabbed my attention was the appearance of something attached to the front and hanging down below the light. There was no sound at all, no flickering, an almost white light which moved across the sky for about 10 seconds then just disappeared. There was no cloud for it to go behind and I could still see the stars in the same vicinity. Stayed quite a while until my neck complained but saw nothing else except a meteor going in the opposite direction.

It was not a helicopter - which are seen regularly round here and it wasn't a meteor unless they have dangling items on the front of them.
