Witness Statement: I was looking out at the stars out of my bathroom window thinking about ufo's/what might be out there for a good 5 - 10 mins. Suddenly to the right of where I was looking, a very bright light appeared from no where, pretty much in the centre view of my window. This happened within 3 - 4 seconds so it's difficult to recall what I saw totally. But from best memory it was a yellow/white orb, and after about 2 seconds of appearing it shot off in the opposite direction at a speed like nothing I've ever seen. If there's any star wars fans out there reading this, well, it was like a ship going into hyperspace. It had a long trail behind it, leading back to where it originally became visible, which was completely untraceable within 2 seconds. The trail was white in colour if memory serves. But yeah, I could not believe what I saw.

I have always wanted to see something that gripped me, but in honesty nothing had until that. Now I am pretty much convinced. I am sure people will think of possibilities, the closest thing I could think of is a shooting star - it couldn't possibly be something we have - the speed it disappeared is what gripped me, and how I could see it travel such a distance from bright to nothing at all. So yeah unless shooting stars last a good 4 seconds - which I've heard they don't, then what else could it be other than a ufo? Personally, this has given me hope.
