this object was very bright and very very unusual i have never seen one this dramatically shedding its body. i was surprised it did not leave any sound of its progress although i was inside at the time looking out a small window.i am sure however that many will have seen this it being on an alignment that would be visible to anyone traveling west on the motorway

appeared to be breaking up and separating however the separation did not seem to leave any trails of any but micro second duration.the object was very bright multi colored and appeared to be the size of a pea held at arms length.
