Brief Description of sighting
20-Sep-08 20:00 Chatteris Cambridgeshire Multiple bright glowing objects, between 5-
10,000 ft heading from South to North.
20-Sep-08 22:00 Calne Wiltshire Five super bright, glowing orange/pink orbs at
low altitude. They had unusual flying
characteristics and were totally silent in flight.
20-Sep-08 22:55 Malton North Yorkshire There were circles of white lights with a set of
fire coming from inside each of them. They
were like hang gliders, totally quiet. The last
circle had a red light. They were in a
formation.
21-Sep-08 22:15 Iver Buckinghamshire A stream of forty over-roundish lights. They
were in separate formations, all in straight
lines. They were a funny orange colour and
were bright.
22-Sep-08 Not stated Glasgow Glasgow A UFO.
27-Sep-08 19:45 Southgate London A large silent squadron of red/orange
coloured flying craft. There must have been in
excess of thirty. Maybe more. They were
flying from West to East.
27-Sep-08 Not stated Bletchley Buckinghamshire Something definitely odd.
28-Sep-08 Not stated Budleigh Salterton Devon There was a stationary object, too low to be a
star. It was orange in colour. It moved once,
and then twice in a straight line in a NE - SW
direction.
01-Oct-08 23:00 Felixstowe Suffolk Very fast, intense flashes. Then one of the
flashes formed into a ball.
05-Oct-08 19:50 Wolverhampton West Midlands A number of mysterious lights moving silently
overhead. There were three and then another
three appeared.
