Large White Ball - Eastern Portsmouth - 19th January 2017

Location of Sighting: Eastern Portsmouth UK
Date of Sighting: 19/01/2017
Time: Around 1920 to 1930
Witness Name: Alan Swift

Witness Statement: Returning from Bognor after dropping my wife at work (Nurse), o was driving east along A27 approx between Bedhampton & Farlington.

I was facing almost due east as Venus was directly ahead.

Appearing from ‘nowhere’ travelling very fast and low from north to south was a very large white ball with a long tapering white tail.

It appeared in tact with no signs of breaking up or orange type emissions, suggesting it being on fire.

Otherwise it had the appearance of a meteor, but in my view was too large and too low.

It was descending at about a 30 degree angle from the ground and disappeared in the direction of approx. eastern/southern Portsmouth.

It was maybe approx. 1/2 to one mile away and around 200 to 500 feet high as I observed it for around 1-2 seconds.

IF it was a meteor it would have made a very serious impact, setting fire to its landing place ….no reports of such an impact have been recorded to date.

It was too large to be ignored.
