Cigar over Liverpool, LIVERPOO · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving back home with some food and seen what i assumed was an asteroid. It looked like it was on fire and leaving dark smoke. This left a trail through the sky which was directly over my house. The trail could be followed through the sky and ended in a point where a black (dark) Cigar shaped object was stationary in the sky and stayed in a vertical position. I have videos of both the trail and the object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167425). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Me and my girlfriend saw 3 bright white lights flash past so fast it looked like the light stretched. It flew past in a split second east of City Road in Walton at around 300ft heading southbound towards Liverpool. Sighting only lasted a split second but it looked as if I may have been triangular with the position of the lights, two at the back and one central slightly in front of the others which seemed brighter. No sound was heard.

Exactly 11:06pm out my house. Looking at stars and saw this light drop vertically in the sky. Took out my phone as quick as I could and recorded the light moving faster than any aircraft. 1 ufo was seen. I tracked the light with my phone on video. At 00:21 seconds I held my phone still only to capture the ufo dipping and flying out of frame. The light remains a bright white and when zoomed in, clearly shape shifts into a circle, a disk and what looks like a fireball shape. I am the only witness (that I know off, but video footage I can provide to show this).
