| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tom T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This location is on the southern edge of Salisbury Plain army training area, where pyrotechnics and aircraft night flying is common. However, having lived & worked here for over 18 years I am used to seeing these and recognising them as military. I have also witnessed fireball/meteors elsewhere in the past, and am completely confident that this is what I witnessed. Unfortunately the time is approximate! But I'd say between 2345hrs and 0015hrs. Location/trajectory was over Elston, falling from south to north. ThanksTom |
