.....LAST NIGHT (EARLY EVENING) 5/6 O'CLOCK, THURSDAY 26TH AUGUST?????
It was somewhere around the Croydon/Norwood area.
At first it looked like a crashing small plane, but then a closer look revealed it to be similar to a meteorite or some object from space - which must have been much larger before of course burning into smaller object after hitting our atmosphere.
It left a long smoke trail in the sky which quickly vanished due to the poor weather and rainy clouds - thus, one would have had to be attentive and alert.
(At one point, it looked like a missile, but we quickly ruled that out because its flight pattern was erratic.)
So, did anybody happen to see it???
I don't think it was an alien aircraft because space agencies and Earth defences would have already intercepted it - but how come nobody seems to have said anything about it??
Surely, national space agencies should have been aware, yet the media is silent on the matter.
Or worse, could it have been some secret military test gone wrong??
I am no conspiracy theorist, but I am curious as to what occurred.
So, once again who saw this and do you have any information (real information, that is)??
I saw something like this a few weeks ago.... it was so bright it lit up my room. I live in sutton (very close to croydon)
Really??
My goodness!
I do not understand why we are not informed about these things.
Doesn't Britain have an alert and aware space agency?
Apparently, many things like this happen in the US and some actually hit people or partially destroy buildings!
However, I'm not so sure that what we saw was a meteorite....its flight trail was extremely slow and quite erratic...
It was so slow that we managed to catch sight of it and then have to run away from it to catch more glimpses of it as it flew behind a tall building....
Last weekend there was meteor showers that were supposed to be visible from North Scotland. Im from North England and saw 4 alone so the idea of you seeing one further south and few days later is plausible.

It was further away from you and higher up in the atmosphere than it appeared so it seemed to move slowly and its flight path was eratic because meteorites are not perfectly streamlined and are not spherical so will adopt an eratic path.
