I and my father were stood outside having a cigarette, looking out for shooting stars as I heard there was meant to be (10 august '14) we tracked a couple of dull star looking comits (we guessed) after about 4 mins of that we spotted a really bright star travel across the sky above us,fast.. but fairly slow. We watched as it caught up with the clouds (which were going pretty fast.) It then came out the other side, seemed to sort of hover slightly then it shot extraordinarily fast, ridiculously fast with no sound but a long blue flash followed behind but dissappeared all in less than a second. I felt absolutely extatic that I'd seen something truely unexplainable, a huge sense of relief &happiness.
