Brief Description of sighting
06-Oct-08 20:55 Not stated Lincolnshire A very large inverted V shape of seven dull
lights - greyish almost. There was no shell
outline. It rotated slightly and then seemed to
bounce. The lights then shot off individually at
high speed.
08-Oct-08 23:17 Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne and Wear A large, bright white object moving silently at
fast speed in the sky at a very high altitude,
heading from North East to South West. The
colour then changed from white to red and
then it stopped. It jumped to different parts of
the sky.
10-Oct-08 20:45 Cheltenham Gloucestershire There were five, what looked like strange
orange fire balls. They were silent.
11-Oct-08 00:35 A12/Colchester Essex Two bright lights were flying Northbound, in
line about 500 yards apart. As they got nearer,
they could only be described as two balls of
fire.
11-Oct-08 19:20 Portsmouth Hampshire A large, bright orange tube shaped craft. It
was flying slowly across the sky in a North
Westerly direction. It was stationary for a
minute. It made 3-4 circles in the sky and then
zoomed off to the East.
11-Oct-08 23:00 Stafford Staffordshire There was a craft that seemed unusual. It was
a shining bright orange and was moving
slowly.
13-Oct-08 21:00 Buxton Derbyshire Seven orange orbs. They were in a formation
of three and then two sets of two. They moved
generally in a straight line, but with some
'dancing' in the sky.
13-Oct-08 22:50 Balham London A UFO.
14-Oct-08 Not stated Swansea West Glamorgan There was a continual orange, strange shape
in the sky. There was a very odd light too.
