Green Flare Over EMA
 

I saw the same 'green flare' at EMA. I was driving past the airport keeping DHL to my left and the same green type flare appeared over Diseworth. The light was falling quite quickly at a sharp angle, but was very bright indeed. I could not estimate how far away, but fairly close.

Thought first of all it was a firework but I know from experience this was more like a flare than anything else.

I dismissed the event until reading the other sightings on PPRUNE.

Seems like as good a time as any to start a conspiracy theory.

Quite odd.

Just checked, my duty finished at 2125 and I was driving home from EMA, normally about 35 minutes, and saw a green flare-type object descending to my south as I passed Kilworth House Hotel in Leicestershire. Thought they must be using fireworks.

Farty.....................are you better yet?:confused:

...and by the weekend the Triffids will be in control...

Green Flare!

Had a pair of them once

Looks like a possible candidate for space debris is the remains of a Proton rocket used to launch three Glonass nav sats. The decay was predicted near midnight Z on 21 May.

Farty Flaps: best post of the year. Laughed my a$$ off.

Gracias.

Say Again s l o w l y:

The green laser you are referring to is the one that marks the Greenwich Meridian - 0 degrees etc.

I saw that light too when flying northbound south of Paris!

The most brilliant "shooting star I ever saw!
I'm happy to know it could be a space debris.

If you have a laptop and fly regurally at night, I could recommend you a software called "Redshift 4".(I think there is an update 5 now)

That soft allows you to choose your position to look to the sky (even your altitude!) . Quite funny to name those stars you see every night and get a lot of infos about them. Our a/c are so reliable these days.........:ok:

On UK tv Channel 5 at 2100 local this evening a programme "Megalightning" might shed some light. FWIW followed by one on UFOs over UK

Yeah, I saw that Greenwich laser just north of Glasgow last night:ok:

Gillian Anderson (X files) is in Belfast at the moment,

Will I give her a call.
