I seen one of these today

Image

It was bloody loud too, i was on the motorway with the music on and i heard a loud Thud thud thud noise, i thought it was a blown tyre or something so turned it down and i could still hear it loud so looked up and spotted it above, it was pretty low and it soon shot off, was pretty cool though.
