Hi,
I am a UFO researcher from this region attempting to follow up the above sighting, with the aim of eventually compiling a formal, objective report on this particular event.
Therefore, I would be interested in hearing from anyone who noticed anything unusual around the time of the reported sighting (even from those living in the area who didn't notice anything odd , for that matter!)
I can be reached via email@deltapro.co.uk
Kind regards,
Robert Moore

Had a similar thing a few years ago...
I was returning from my night shift in Bristol southbound along the M5 to Weston, time was 6.20am one June morning in 2001. Unusually I was alone on the road in the early morning when i saw what seemed to be a meteor going at great velocity parallel to my car at a distance of 20 feet. I t appeared to be on fire with yellow sparks trailing behind. It then stopped and I caught up with it, and it started along matching my speed for some minutes. It occured to me when I turned off at Junction 21 I would turn into its path as its trajectory was very low.
I turned as I was tired and did not want to miss turn off so if I crashed into it then too bad! As I turned into Junction 21 the object accelerated at a considerable velocity upwards and vanished.
I've often thought of this since and can think of no rational explanation!
