Location of Sighting: Erdington, Birmingham
Date of Sighting: 3rd December 2009
Time: 20:00
Witness Statement: I was walking from six ways island towards Fentham rd when out of the corner of my eye I saw a very bright white light moving from my left to right. It looked like it was following the length of Erdington high st. I thought at first it was the police helicopter because it was moving slowly at first. But as it came towards the junction of Wood End rd it seemed to shoot upwards and then almost dive towards the ground. It was similar to a shooting star as it went towards the ground. But I've never seen a shooting star move slowly in a straight line and then pick up speed and head to the ground.

I say it looked like it was over the high st but that's only because of how bright it was that it seemed so close.
