Travelling at speed and silent, from the South of Duns in an South Easterly direction.

At 9:30 pm tonight I observed what I thought was a meteor on fire travelling in a downward direction from the Southern side of town (Duns, Berwickshire. Scotland). It went out of sight behind trees, behind my house. When it emerged seconds later it was travelling horizontally, at great speed, in a South Easterly direction towards the East Coast of England.

I have checked online and asked friends if anyone else saw it. Nothing.

The weather at the time was cloudy with light rain and the air was and remains very still. There is no noise from traffic. It was just turning to dusk.

The object caught my attention as it stood out against the darker sky. It appeared to be slowing down as it descended at a low angle to the horizon.

Initially, when I saw it, it was travelling in a downward direction it looked like a meteor, except I could not see a smoke trail. It was a vivid bright red, rounded at the front and slightly pointed at the rear.

It travelled behind trees behind my house for possibly two seconds. It emerged from behind the trees travelling horizontally. It looked quite low in the landscape.

When it reappeared from behind the trees it had changed shape and looked like a big round ball. It was a vivid bright red colour rapidly oscillating to a very bright yellow/gold.

It travelled rapidly away in a South Easterly direction toward the coast. It was gone in seconds. I could not hear any noise. It is absolutely still and soundless here tonight. No wind, bird sounds or traffic sounds.

Apart from reporting on this site, I don't know who else I should report to. Is there a reporting site in the UK?

You can contact me via email. f you think this is something you wish to peruse.
