27AUG2012 Toby Service Ludlow, Shropshire, UK 2315 5-7 seconds West to East and appeared to be heading downwards Bright white with long trail behind Very bright. If it wasnt so silent I would have said it was a plane crashing. A small moon maybe No parts falling off as far as i could see but left a trail behind. I only noticed it because it was so bright, it lit up my garden for a second or two. I turned to see it dissapear behind some houses. Ludlow is a very quiet town, especially late on a Monday evening so although very coincidental, there was also a long low 'boom' about 4/5 mins after the sighting.
27AUG2012 Shirley Taylor N. Herefordshire, UK 23.05 12 -15 secs N - SSE Facing S Very bright Silver/White, +orange flames Brightest thing I've ever seen There did appear to be bits "spitting" off just before it vanished In 26 years of sky watching up in the hills I have never been so close to a "heavenly" body. About 2-3 mins after going out of sight there was a massive bang that shook the ground, followed by a 2nd bang.
