From my position and perspective, it appeared almost exactly to follow the flight path planes take when landing in Inver argill airport except it was obviously not a plane. I'm not retarded. It was def a meter as confirmed by many others who saw it and heard it. I expected to hear it hit a few paddocks away it was that close. So so special.

Remarks
It started as one then clustered into a tight group all which had their own tail like you see in disaster movies. By the time it disappeared from view because of the angle of my house, it was almost headed straight down instead of across. It was under the clouds.
