saw a object very bright ball of light no sound, passed over us and a landing plane on the 12/5/09 @ 23:18 - 23:22@ 23:15 myself and my Girlfriend when to get the washing off the line as it was getting damp from my right a very bright, white ball of light came across the sky as I thought the light was the headlight of a plane as we are on a flight path to Liverpool John Lennon Airport , but as it went past the intensity was just as bright and the was no coloured wing lights, as it came over to the left of me a passanger plane flew underneath,the object made no sound, the object carried on into the distance and disappeared, If there was any suggestion of this object was a plane I would not be typing this e mail,
