What just went over Wallasey Village? Very high, very loud, very bright. Quite disconcerting. 15 minutes ago.
Came pretty much over our heads from the centre of Wallasey Village and we watched it all the way in line with our roads out to the sea. Even when the light was gone we could hear it loudly.
No way was it a fighter. It was an extremely bright light. A constant light. Lasted a good 90 seconds, staying on the same track. Surely not part of Perseid. Came from the wrong direction.
My first thought was honestly that it was the space station and it was coming down.

Heard it, watched it head over the bay northwards then the light went out but the sound stayed, maybe experimental stuff, or Birkenheads got a space programme!!

I seen the same thing! all the neighbors were out in the street, the noise was so loud it shook the house! at first i thought fighter jet, but the sound was so loud, it was definitely traveling faster than Mach 1 - the speed of sound. i highly doubt a fighter jet would be permitted to fly at that speed at such a low altitude. so i am left clueless, heaven knows what it was. it burnt with an extremely bright white/ orange light and looked only a few thousand feet above the sea level!

I was having a sleep and was awoken by what I thought was a plane in distress .. definitely sounded like a plane but it lit up my room which is pitch black normally ,So I went downstairs and asked my Mum if She saw it as I was in bed and She said that She also thought it was a plane going to crash , but had looked out and said it was a weird bright light that wasn't a plane !!! Must admit here in New Brighton I've noticed a lot of weird low flying airliners recently and the obvious fighter jets increasing their training flights ... hmmmm hope someone in the know posts the right information

I have found the governtments timetable for LFA (low flying aircraft) over our area and theres nothing permited to fly at this time ! oshocked i guess we'll never know, unless of course it was something significant crashing to earth. but who knows i bet the governtments up to all sorts without our knowledge!heres the link by the way for the timetable https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa..._data/file/449718/OLF_10_14_Aug_2015.pdf

It was a Tornado going through JLA, put the afterburners on over Wallasey, very loud!

The Typhoon at the weekend was based at JLA and displaying at Blackpool and N Ireland.

Wouldnt have thought anything could get that high from JLA to Wallasey without doing an extreme climb. Dont see them allowing it in general airspace without good reason. Especially at night in a heavily populated area. Accept it was a Typhoon but something more to its actions.

But i have always loved an X files story.
