Message: I was looking north
east in the sky and a light caught my eyes.
It was moving at great speed to
the south, and it's altitude was an estimated 15000ft.
After about 5 seconds
it appeared to break in to two pieces, then fell in the direction of the sea,
still at speed.
I then lost sight of the object as it passed
behind houses.
It was not a shooting star, I have seen thousands of them,
and the characteristics were so clearly different.
