| And the object has been seen in Norfolk and at Walsall in the West Midlands. | |
| One person who contacted the BBC said it was "kind of a mass of light, gold light. Everything moving in unison". | |
| "It wasn't diverging or whatever. I thought it was a plane at first. It was quite low on the horizon and moving much slower than I'd expect to see a shooting star, but it was amazing." | |
| Another said the sight was "like Independence Day" in reference to the film about an alien invasion of Earth. | |
| "It was broken up by the time I saw it. There must have been 10 or 15 huge pieces on fire, white hot with red down the side." | |
