Wroxham, England: Glowing light passes over motorcyclist, his headlight fails

At 11:30 p.m., a lone motorcyclist near Wroxham, Norfolk, England, observed a glowing light traveling overhead on a straight trajectory. As the light passed, the headlight of his motorcycle failed. The headlight began working again after the object had passed. The report appeared in the London Evening News of 20 May 1909 and in regional papers during the British airship wave of 1909, and Mark Rodeghier later listed it among UFO reports involving vehicle interference. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
