Default NLC last night??

Did anyone observe Noctilucent cloud (NLC) last night (25th/26th May)? I
note that it was (possibly) observed the previous night ....

Being up and about ~0100Z (2am BST) last night, and looking towards the
NNE/NE, there was a reasonably bright, silvery-white glow in the sky,
towards the horizon, roughly 10° elevation. Because there was so much
tropospheric cloud about, I initially discounted any mesospheric cloud,
but I have been in touch with someone else nearby this morning who also
wondered whether NLC was involved? Also, about that time, the
tropospheric cirrus shield was thinning/breaking temporarily.

Martin.
