Description:
There were white clouds and some areas of pure blue sky, and suddenly in the clear blue part of the sky an object seemed to suddenly appear. It looked as though the sun had caught it just at the right angle to shine for a while, it was a triangle shape almost, quite narrow at the top but wide at the bottom and seemed silvery in colour. It didn’t look as though it as moving at all but as I noticed it 'appear' my daughter shouted 'look at that'. I don’t know what it was but I know it was the wrong shape for any hot air balloon and wasn’t an airplane. It seemed stationary in the sky and I don’t know how long it was showing for as sadly we were driving in traffic and couldn’t just stop to watch it for long. As for the size it was much smaller than a full moon, it looked to be higher than a helicopter would be and bigger.

Investigation:
As with all stationary objects a check of the astronomical charts is in order. In calculating the witness position it seems likely based on the charts that what they had witnessed was a crescent moon. The sighting may have been distorted via the car window and the quite dreary weather conditions at the time.
