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.

It looked nebulous last night Martin but nothing like the night before.
There was a lot of cirrus here and didn't report to nlcnet because of that.

I've sent you a couple of webcam shots by email.
