NARRATIVE

I was at  home studying with curtains open and glanced out the window.  A small bright light was flying along the terraced houses opposite (across a green about 100ft away) just at the level of the roof gutters.  
It was moving slowly and I thought someone must be flying a model aircraft. I thought this must be difficult in the dark and so I went to the window. 
It moved to the end of the row of houses where it rose up to the full height of the roof. 
I was still looking for ' the person controlling the model plane,' when it started to accelerate and ascend.  In a matter of 3 seconds it had disapeared over a hill about 400ft high and a mile away. 
I have estimated it must have been travelling over 1000 mph by the time it disapeared.
Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.  PD
