##IMPORTANT## - Anybody catch sight of fireball in the sky in SOUTH London, England..

I hope this is a troll or that's really worrying.

.....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 didn't see a fireball, but I did see this thread crash and burn.

Ah, a funny one...

No, I was not under the influence of narcotics, or tobacco or alcoholic beverages for that matter...

Were you even in South London at the time, hm??

(Also, three others and I witnessed this peculiar and unreported phenomenon, so I cannot have been dishonest.)

It Was Teh Illuminati. Run For Your Lifes!!!11!!!111

I saw it.

But then Will Smith came at me with one of those flashy mind wipe thingies and i had to run.

Ah, rib-crackingly hilarious...

I saw something similiar a few weeks ago in Manchester. It definitely wasn't a meteorite (or at least, it was VERY atypical) as I observe them a lot. At first it was streaking across the sky fairly typically, then it changed direction slightly, bobbing about almost.

Now, here's the weird part. It then went UP (i.e, away from the Earth), which would only be possible if we're talking huge meteorite in the mesosphere, and then we're talking near miss. But it definitely wasn't that. It was observably getting smaller within seconds/minutes.

It was one of the most bizarre things me and my family have seen.

Um...

It's right there in you sig
