| Strange sliver glow On 28/06/05 here in England we had a major thunder and lightening storm, the kind I haven't seen for years. I was standing on my back doorstep filming the storm on my digital camera (it has a movie mode). The storm passed over and I finished filming, had been filming for 24 minutes. I was looking at the clouds moving accross the sky to see if I could spot any more lightening I could film and as a cloud to the south west moved accross the sky behind it was a bright almost silver glowing circular object. I'd say it was about as big as a tennis ball and it caught my eye as it was so bright against the stormy sky. Before I could turn the camera back on a cloud came accrooss and covered it and I never saw it again as there was no break in the clouds. I suppose it could have been an aircraft but was difficult to tell if there was any aircraft noise because of the storm passing northwards. My immediate thought when I saw it was that it could have been Sirius (you know from other reports i've sent in that i often look out for Sirius) but I believe Sirius to be further west and lower in the sky than this object. |
