I saw, what i assume to be a meteroite a few weeks back when i was walking my dogs at 5am before work.
I walk without a torch as once your eyes adjust you can make shapes out in the dark... so im walking along and i see a flash above the hill to my right hand side. My first though was 'who the hell is using fireworks at this time?' - this was just after bonfire night.
But no noise followed this light, it was a round intesnly light ball shooting through the sky, not your average shooting star which is far away, this thing was going through the clouds on a downward trajectory like 45 degrees. I then noticed bits falling off the back of it until the light dissapeared.
Speaking with freinds they believe it was a meterorite or space debris coming back into the atmosphere burning up and eventually hitting the ground... if i didnt have work i was very tempted to go and see the other side of the hill to see if i could see anything.
I was very amazed, to think little old me saw what i hope was a meteorite's last moments after a journey that may have lasted billions/millions of years was amazing... iw ill seriously take the mental image of that morning to my grave, i was seriously amazed.

God, ejaculating.
I have "floaters" in my eyeballs that are a little confusing at times. Not aliens in the sky confusing, just like a little curly bit that drifts across my field of vision.

A cloud
Was it in HD
Was it in HD
I saw something i can't explain that sounds a bit similar, a dim light which had a really slow pulse to it, at first i thought it was a plane as it must have been that sort of altitude but they have clear flashing lights, it was travelling quite slow and would light up slowly, stay on for a second or two then dim again for a second or two and repeat, this was around fireworks night, any ideas?
It was a UFO!
and here's my proof....
UFO [yoo-ef-oh or, sometimes, yoo-foh]
–noun, plural UFO's, UFOs.
any unexplained moving object observed in the sky, esp. one assumed by some observers to be of extraterrestrial origin.
Also called unidentified flying object.
Compare flying saucer.
Origin:
1950–55; u(nidentified) f(lying) o(bject)
even if it was a balloon it would be floating so that's covered as well. Now lets all get on with our short boring lives before the aliens get us
