Bright Ball Of Light With Sparks And Long Tail Over Derby City Centre UK

Date:  September 21, 2012
Time:  Evening.

I saw exactly the same thing as you described. Bright ball of light with sparks at the front and long tail of light trailing behind. I thought it was a firework at first, but it lasted far too long.

As it past over towards the horizon and I saw the back of it, I could see it was actually 4 balls of light headed in the same directions and disappeared into to the horizon.

I've never seen anything like this before, very strange. I was on my way to work close to derby's city centre when I spotted it through the clouds as it dropped below them at 10.55 pm.

Bright Ball Of Light With Tail Filled With Sparks Seen Near Elton Derbyshire UK

Date:  September 21, 2012
Time:  10:55 p.m.

A bright ball of white light, about twice as bright as Jupiter, travelling low across the sky, horizontally above the horizon, approximately SE to NW. I was near the village of Elton, Derbyshire, walking up a dark lane.

I observed the phenomenon for a little less than a minute, thinking at first it might be plane or helicopter flying low with headlights, or maybe a guy Fawkes rocket or Chinese lantern.

It moved steadily and completely soundlessly at about the speed that a plane a few miles away might seem to move, crossing about a third of the horizon in about 45 seconds.

After about 20 seconds, and as it apparently approached and passed me, I saw it appear to extend a streak of a tail, this lengthened as it moved away to the NW, now a diminishing ball of light at its head, with small spark-like clusters of more orange light in the long, straight streak of the tail.

What was remarkable and distinguished the phenomenon from a fireworks rocket was that the trail of light and sparks it left continued at almost exactly the same speed and in the same trajectory behind it.

They did not appear to fall to earth. Slowly everything faded into the NW horizon. There was never any turbulence or sound, everything seemed to float across the sky. I concluded that it might be an asteroid entering the Earth's atmosphere at its very outer edges, and burning.

The whole show resembled that of a shooting star but bigger, in slow motion, with a much longer tail, horizontally, and for almost a minute.

Reaching the pub I was walking to I encountered two people who, driving, had pulled over and stopped, to watch, one from nearby Wensley, another closer to Ashbourne some 10 miles away. Both described essentially the same sight.

Bright White Light With Orange Broken Tail Seen Over West Vale Greetland West Yorkshire England UK

Date:  September 21, 2012
Time:  Evening.

Hi, just seen something similar tonight over West Vale/Greetland. It was a bright white light at the front with an orange, broken tail.

It seemed very low in the sky and passed just in front of us. Thought it was the police helicopter at first it was so bright and close!

I was wondering if anyone else had seen it when I came across your request for sightings online.

Hope you get other reports verifying it. It was amazing to see. Regards.

Bright Object With Blue Colored Tail Flying Over Elizabeth Way Saffron Walden Essex UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  1:10 p.m.

 

Hi, I was reading about your sighting at Saffron Walden Essex on March 3rd 2012.

 

Just thought I’d mention it, I was walking home from Tesco today at approximately 13:10 and in the sky directly in front of me above Homebase area Elizabeth way heading north I saw what I first thought was a firework rocket.

 

Then as I got closer, I realized it was no rocket, but possibly a meteor looked like a shooting star with a bluish tail.

 

Then this ball of fire just dropped to the ground and the tail disintegrated. It was very bright, but very quick. It was gone in a matter of seconds, no sound at all.

 

No planes in sky at the time, I hope this helps.

Large Bright Green Object With A Tail Seen Over Dubai United Arab Emirates

 

Date:  March 5, 2012

Time:  Approx: 6:40 p.m.

 

Hello, I saw the same thing that was reported on your blog from Dubai yesterday around 6:40 p.m.

 

It was extremely big, also it was during daylight (I have seen lots of regular ones, this was way bigger and brighter) and even the tail was having visible splits.

 

It disappeared behind some buildings, so could not see if it burnt before falling or not.

Ball Of Fire With Different Colors With Tail Observed Over Livingston Scotland UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  Approx: 9:45 p.m.

 

Hey, my name is (name removed) and I also saw what looked like a shooting star last night 03/03/12. I live in Livingston, Scotland. It was a lovely thing to see. It looked like a ball of fire with different colours coming from it, and it had a massive big line of what looked like dust coming from it.

 

I wish I had time to take a picture. I thought it was a big bright shooting star, but it seemed to last longer than a normal shooting star. I got to watch it for at least 40 seconds and then it vanished into the sky.

 

It seemed quite low in the sky. Do you know what it was?

Object Had A Green Glow And Orange Tail Seen Over Poulton-Le-Fylde UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  Approx; 9:40 p.m.

 

Hi  Brian, I saw it too, as it caught my eye outside the front window whilst I was watching TV. Travelling south/southeast I think.

 

Certainly looked as though it was something burning up as it was coming down through the atmosphere, flame colours (green glow with an orange tail – similar colours to when soldering copper pipes with flux ).

 

For some reason it seemed quite low as though it would crash in Lancashire or nearby. But I’m surprised so many have seen it around all parts of the UK?

 

Didn’t see anything other than the one object, no stars following etc.

 

Haven’t heard anything on the local news about it.

Glowing Tadpole Shaped Object With Orange Green Tail Over Upholland Lancashire England

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  Approx: 9:40 p.m.

 

Hi, my mother and father (I'm writing this for my mother) saw from their lounge window a "glowing orange tadpole shaped object" passing through the sky from a northerly direction over Upholland, heading south.

 

It had an orange and green tail, and appeared to be travelling quickly, certainly faster than a helicopter and was at a fairly low altitude.

 

Any idea what this may have been?

 

Many thanks and kind regards.

White Orange Object With White Blue Tail Seen Over Preston Lancashire UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  9:41 p.m.

 

Hello Brian, I too saw this object. I'm in Preston Lancashire UK. Saw the object from my lounge. I clocked it at 21:41. The object was travelling south, it was above cloud level and unusually slow for a meteor.

 

The colour was white/orange with a white/blue tail.

 

I was able to observe the object further form an upstairs bedroom heading south until it simply vanished. Regards.

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  Approx: 9:40 p.m.

 

I was with my two mates, when I looked up in the sky and saw a huge blob of fire, at first I thought 'what's that? Is it a rocket' then we looked on the news and it was a meteorite.

 

The colours were so nice and colourful, they weren’t white!

 

No white at all, it was like fire, and it was orange and red.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving at the time when I saw it coming from my left. I thought, “oh my god”, look at that shooting star. I said it out loud so my husband and grandson would look. 

 

I thought it would fall and burn out, but no way. It was zooming by, straight above in front of my car. It was unbelievable and behind it was on fire orange and light blue and white tail. 

 

I thought it was a plane on fire and burning. I was actually waiting for it to fall, but straight on it went towards Robroyston over towards Cumbernauld.

Fireball With Red Yellow Tail Seen Over Fife Area Scotland UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  Approx: 9:40 p.m.

 

I saw it as well and exactly what you described. I stay in Scotland and it was really low in the Fife area. At first we thought it was a Chinese lantern, however on closer inspection realized it wasn't..

Very strange.

Orange Yellow Object With Glowing Tail Over North Bridge Edinburgh Scotland UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  Approx: 9:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

 

I just seen the same thing traveling south over the North Bridge in Edinburgh about 9/9:30 this evening.

 

I thought was a firework or flare, but no bang and no dip as in a flare.

 

Then maybe a bit space debris, but with yourself saying this seems a bit weird.

Object Was Blue In Color And It Had A Orange Tail Spotted Over Edinburgh Scotland UK

 

Date:  March 3, 2012

Time:  After 9:00 p.m.

 

Hi there, a group of us, approximately 14 people, were standing on the corner of Royal Mile and St Mary's Street after 21h00 and saw this too!

 

I thought the tail was orange, but the head looked a bit blue, and it was very low into the sky and very bright over the Mile.

 

It went on for ages, reckon it may have 'burned out' Cameron Toll area. The sighting lasted for a while, that was definitely not a firework either. Too high and we were on one of the Hills of Edi, there's no way that was launched from Calton Hill area.

 

The tail was long, and the sighting lasted for about 15 seconds. I could see it way in the distance, awesome! Look forward to hearing more.
