I was looking at a wierd cloud formation earlier today when it occured to me that it wasn't a cloud but an orb. Anyone else see it about 3pm today - North Sheffield

Are you sure it wasn't the sun or moon?! But no, I was out and about then and didn't notice anything.

I was stone cold sober! I'm sure it'll be reported in the local press in the next few days and then you'll all be investigating it :)

Couldn't investigate his way out of a paper bag:shocked:

Somebody posted a link to this cool site on another thread. I had a look and saw a reference to things called 'iridium flares'. These are flashes in the sky caused by reflections from Iridium satellites. You can plan when they are going to be visible from Sheffield too if you want to recreate your experience (assuming thats what it was!)
I havent seen one yet, but I am gonna have a look!

Might help.
