Weird sighting during meteor shower - any ideas?!
AI IMAGE USED TO HELP DEMONSTRATE WHAT I SAW!!
I need some help understanding what the flip me and my partner saw in the sky on the night of the eclipse and meteor shower on weds 12th august, around 10.30pm ish.
We had been watching the meteor shower in my parents garden in the West Midlands, UK and had seen plenty of satellites and a handful of shooting stars too. I then for a sec thought that there was a hair flying in front of my face that was reflecting the light or something, but like a second later realised it was actually in the sky and was moving super fast. I didn't say anything as my brain tried to process what I was seeing and then my boyfriend next to me said 'omg what is that?', I just about managed to say 'do you see that too?!' and within a couple seconds, it had completely disappeared.
I would say it lasted maybe 5 seconds in total. It looked really big in the sky and was super hazy, but once my eyes focused on it could see there were individual lights making up the shape - approx 30 of them in total I would say.
Neither of my parents were looking at the sky when it flew across so they didn't see it. I have been googling to see if I could find anything similar, thought maybe starlink but it moved freakishly fast and dissapeared and wasnt in a straight line. Heard the flock of geese theory too but no way it could have been as was far too big, fast and silent. Any ideas?? The AI pic is a pretty accurate representation though I would say it was even hazier/more transparent irl.
