Witness Testimony

"At approximately 17.45 hrs on Monday 21 November 2016, having just garaged my car in its lock-up close to my home, I was startled by a kind of whooshing, or whistling noise overhead. On looking up, I saw a lantern / balloon shaped object, or craft, shooting past quite low in the sky. The dimensions and altitude of the object / craft were very difficult to assess, as it was travelling extremely fast. There was a jet-engine-type flame shooting out in its wake. In the time it took to reach my house (no more than 90 seconds), the object was disappearing over the horizon in a generally SSW direction. Did anyone else witness such a sighting? "
