Aberdeen, Scotland (United Kingdom)

Sighted on Monday 21. November 2016

Shape: Circle | Duration: 10 minutes
Source:

Was driving to the airport at around 7:55am to pick up a customer. seen his plane on approach and then seen what i thought was a plane light in the distance and i assumed it was another plane behind it but further away. i then realised that it was moving too fast to be a plane and it was going against the flight path of landing aircraft. It was probably around 5 miles south of the airport and it was moving fast towards the west.
It then just stopped moving quickly to the west and was stationary for a bit.
The next 5 minutes i had to focus on driving so i couldnt see what it was doing but when i parked at the airport it was still in the sky but further away.
Watched it for a few seconds then it disappeared.
Clear skies at -4 degrees so it wouldnt have been ball lightning and due to its movement/deceleration/flight path i doubt it was any normal plane or helicopter either so i dont really know what i saw.
