Charlotte, North Carolina A Rectangular Shaped UFO
 
Date:  September 15, 2004
Time:  5:00 p.m.
 
Location of Sighting: Charlotte, NC.
Number of witnesses: 1 +
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Rectangle UFO approximately size of tennis court.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving in 5 o'clock traffic on I-85 in north Charlotte, NC towards UNC-Charlotte campus. I was taking an exit ramp towards the university when I looked up in front of me about 150 yards away a rectangular shaped object was floating silently above the tree line. At first I thought it must be a banner being pulled by a plane but I quickly realized that wasn't the case. It was as large as a tennis court. The object  was covered with encased reflective panels that were dark army green and may have been reflecting the trees below.

I drove slowly and watched it in utter amazement for about 15 seconds. I had time to take off my sunglasses to make sure of what I was seeing. As the traffic crept down the road the UFO floated behind a tree line and I couldn't see it anymore. I didn't even think to look at other drivers to see if they reacted to it.

As I got closer to the campus, I noticed two cars that were pulled off the road. I was kind of in a daze and was locked in with the rest of traffic so had to keep going.

I've researched rectangle shaped UFO reports and find many similarities such as most witnesses having the initial reaction that it must be a banner being pulled by an airplane. In fact, another rectangle UFO was reported in Charlotte, NC in September 2008, in the same area of town. Seeing this object did change my life in that I know for certain now that UFO's are real and they can do anything.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Time:  12:30 a.m.
 
Location of Sighting: (Bowerman Basin) Aberdeen, Washington.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large Round Object.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: Three friends and I were driving around the city with a video camera looking for entertainment and we decided to go to Bowerman Basin to film what we thought was the moon. A large round, red glowing object hung in the sky above the airport and i wanted to film it. I went to turn my camera on and the object appeared to sink into the water below. There was no sound emitted by the moon-like object and no splash in the water and the glowing disappeared and we were all standing stunned.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Twydall, Gillingham, Kent, England Round Balls Of Fire
 
Date:  December 23, 2008
Time:  6:45 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round balls of fire.
Weather Conditions: Misty and clearish sky with elements of cloud.

Description: I am not sure in honesty what this was- I don't even believe in UFO's but I must admit that I am baffled. I was standing outside the front of my house with my sister when we saw a bizarre orange light in the sky. It was moving rather quickly and did not seem to be at a tremendous altitude. It was absolutely silent and quite disconcerting. It seemed to be moving at about the speed of a helicopter, however at the altitude it appeared to be at a helicopter
would have been clearly audible. After 30 seconds meandering across the sky it stopped and then curved about 20 degrees in movement. Then after a brief pause of 10 seconds it appeared to increase in altitude at a pretty fast rate. It dimmed to red and disappeared with very little warning in a matter of 10 seconds.

I noticed another 2 reports on this website locally to here (Strood, Kent is part of the same conurbation and Gravesend is 10 minutes drive away), and have considered the possibility of a UFO balloon or a weather balloon. However it did not appear to move like any balloon I have ever seen as it's speed seemed more akin to that of an aircraft or helicopter. Indeed I would have assumed that it was one or the other of those if it weren't for the fact that it was dead
silent, it appeared to stop for a brief while quite suddenly, the light it gave off was not like any I had seen in the sky before and it's very rapid increase in altitude and its subsequent disappearance.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I doubt very much that it has anything to do with aliens or anything like that (after all, if they could travel trillions of miles to get to this planet I feel they would also take care not to be so obvious about it) but it was still bizarre and I felt that I should relate it to somebody who has spent more time collecting information on such objects (after all, I would describe it as a UFO as I certainly couldn't identify what it could be).

Thank you again for your time, the event has certainly got me thinking about things a fair amount more and I am certainly less dismissive about the subject of UFO's as a consequence.

Wigston, Leicester, Leicestershire, England Bright Orange/Red Object
 
Date:  December 24, 2008
Time:  2030 - 2130
 
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.
Weather Conditions: Fine.

Description: In my garden on Wigston Meadows, myself and my partner saw a bright Red/Orange glow which at first I thought was a plane although after a while I noticed the lights were not flashing, just on a constant glow as it got nearer I was expecting to hear its engine as the speed it was going it would have to of been quite low. As it got over head there was no noise just silence but it was not high enough to be a plane because of its fast speed then it just went very dim and just vanished. I would love to know if anyone else witnessed this as I never really believed in this sort of thing until now (and no it wasn't Father Christmas as I've been joked with).

Description: I was driving home from work & to the right I saw an orange round ball that was hovering very slowly across. It was not that high up but as I waited at the lights I saw as it glided over that it was more rectangular as I focused in as it came over. It was very bizarre for it to be moving so inconsistent in way!

Limavady, County Derry, Northern Ireland Orange Ball Of Light

Date:  December 25, 2008
Time:  4:58 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Orange ball.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy.

Description: Whilst out in the courtyard for some fresh air after Christmas dinner I saw a very bright fiery object in the sky directly overhead. My first impressions where that it was a plane on fire because of the intense orangey red light emanating from the object. However it slowed down to a standstill at which stage I ran for a witness, my son and his wife duly came out and confirmed the sighting. At this stage the object started to move in a northerly
direction and the fieriness of the object changed into three circular disks in a triangular formation as it moved away. It must have been at low altitude as it was under the cloud cover. My grandson reckoned it was Santa Claus going home after a busy night.

Flockton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England Round Orange Light

Date:  December 25, 2008
Time:  7:04 p.m.

Number 0f witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round orange light.

My wife was outside our house back door which faces south at 19.04 hours on the 25th December 2008 she shouted me to come and look, a very large round orange light was travelling from south to north very quickly. We watched the object turn from the large Emley Moor TV mast and head via north west. The object then started reducing in size as though it was climbing very fast vertical into the sky, my first reaction was that of a plane on fire but all was quiet and no noise could be heard. I am nearly fifty years old worked nights outside and have never seen anything like this.

-----

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:

No it was not one of those at all my first thought was an aeroplane was on fire but the time and distance rule this out as it would have exploded. The speed which it was travelling would also rule this out because it travelled south to north at the same level, it was only when it changed to north west it appeared to climb. At this point it moved north west, Manchester Airport would be to the left and Leeds Airport to the right.

Pontypool, Monmouthshire, Wales Round Orange Light
 
Date:  December 25, 2008
Time:  08:30

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy.

Description: We saw one orange light which was almost like a flickering ball of flame then another light of the same brightness appeared and the two moved around each other with unnaturally fluid motions for about one minute.

A third bigger and brighter ball of light moved across from the right to meet the other two as they were fading away and stayed to the right of them.

After about 45 seconds the third light had started to fade away or travel away and disappear into nothing.

The whole time we were watching them it was completely silent except for one "ping" and the only way we could describe this would to be a note on a triangle the size of a house. Not because of the volume of the sound but the resonance.

-----

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:

Hi thanks for getting back to me, I have just watched the video about the ufo balloons and what we saw was definitely 100% not the balloons.

Gravesend, Kent, England UK Four Silent Lights
 
Date:  December 25, 2008
Time:  Approx: 8:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Shape can not be determined by light in dark.
Weather Conditions: Clear mind.

Description: 4 silent lights traveling in the sky, in formation, straight line. Spaced apart enough so light will not reveal form of objects within its proximity. I took photos on mobile, usual story as mobile will not take perfect picture.

TV/Radio: I do not know of any other reporting, and I do not wish to go public with my name. This was an observation, this is reported so movement can be calculated if any one else has seen the same. Hopefully a pattern will emerge?

-----

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:

Thank you for your reply, no weather balloon can travel that fast or in controlled formation. If the balloons have self contained heat source with lighting cool, I can not tell you what it is, I am only referencing its path. I know what I have seen and am not about to broadcast it, I just thought it would add reference to your research. I am open minded and do understand what I have encountered, I will always know deep inside I have seen a ufo, but that will probably be all as I have too much to lose by shouting my mouth off. I believe by keeping this way we harm no one and will probably learn more. Like I say it is only a reference, good luck in your research.

South Africa, Eastern Cape, Uitenhage V Formation Of Lights
 
Date:  December 25, 2008
Time:  10:15 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle.
Weather Conditions: Clear night sky.

Description: A v-formation of dim star like lights, it looked like a giant hand-glider but huge, it came towards me from the north-west and then turned towards the south. No noise and no flashing lights, just a very large triangle, if I had to guess the size I would say the size of maybe two soccer-fields. The center of this object must be solid because there are stars out and as it came over me no stars could be seen, it was that big, the speed difficult to say, but I had plenty time to have a good look at it, as I said no noise but what I did notice is the dogs in the area started barking!! Strange hey! Did anybody else see it???

Additional information:

Thank you John for your reply, at this stage I have not found anyone or any newspaper article to confirm sighting, as I hoped that someone else could verify what I had seen, but I know what I had seen is the real thing! What was interesting after reading other articles, is the Groendale sightings here in the Uitenhage district of the Eastern Cape, this Groendale nature reserve is about 10km away from were I stay and what I initially saw came from this direction.

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright orange Light.
Weather Conditions: Fair.

We were walking home along Cornishway near Minsterly Parade end when we all were distracted by an orange light to the left of us at approx 21:28 on 25/12/08. We all stopped to look at this light as it was too low to be a plane and too slow. ( At first we thought it might have been a flare or a firework as husband ex army.) But all in shock as it slowly passed us and didn't go out. There was no sound coming from this object. Took photo and 14 second video, not very good video but photo better but due to shock taken when passed us. It was heading towards Newall Green in slow motion. Still in shock anyone else seen it?

Bertie County, North Carolina Object Moves At Incredible Speed
 
Date:  December 27, 2008
Time:  8:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Looked like a star.
Weather Conditions: Almost perfect.

Description: My husband and I were at the barn last night when he spotted a strange "star" in the eastern-southeaster n sky. It looked like a bright star but it moved left and right, up and down, at an amazing speed. It even moved at times in a circle. It was quite a distance away and was unlike anything we've ever seen. Neither of us knows anything that can move in those patterns, especially at that speed. Did anyone else see this?

TV/Radio: Not reported, in this rural area of northeastern North Carolina, they would probably think we'd been celebrating too much, but neither of us drinks.

Niagara Parkway, Ontario Four Huge Lights Lined Up In Possible Circle
 
Date:  December 30, 2008
Time:  8:02 p.m.
 
Hi Brian, I spoke to you some time ago re a multiple metallic "flying saucer" sighting in the 1950s in Menihek, Labrador, by a neighbour.
 
While I have never seen a UFO that I didn't categorize as likely being landing lights from an aircraft or a star or planet, my friend and I did see something strange over the Niagara Parkway (Ontario) Tuesday night December 30, 2008 at 8:02 pm Eastern time.  Because it was so strange, my friend took note of the time.  We were about ten kilometers out of Niagara on the Lake heading for Niagara Falls when we observed four (4) huge, self-illuminated lights lined up in the beginnings of what might have been a circle.  In other words, though we saw no shape of any kind behind the lights, they were equidistant apart, in a row that was slightly "bent."  I used to be a student pilot and estimated them to be at roughly about 500 feet altitude.  They were exceptionally bright - almost like movie klieg lights and I said to (my friend): "Jeez, have we seen them before!?"  She replied: "No..." and I came back with: "What are they?"  Naturally, one looks for a rational explanation such as some sort of new installation, even though I knew they were too high to be on any ground structure in our area.
 
We were coming to a turn with some trees following the parkway and I said: "Let's see them from over here. Four is too many for landing lights and a plane shouldn't be at that altitude anyhow."  We rounded the bend, drove for five or ten seconds and they were gone. I stopped on the escarpment at the Brock Monument overlook to scan the area but could see nothing.  The evening was fairly overcast but I don't know what the ceiling was that night - something that would likely be available.  I decided to goggle lights, Niagara etc. to see if anyone else saw them and came across the other reports from Welland which is in our area - a few miles away.  We also waited to see if there were any news report.
 
Anyhow, I wouldn't file a formal UFO sighting report as I have no idea what they were other than some strange, exceptionally powerful lights in the sky that shouldn't have been there.  Their spacing was too close for multiple aircraft with landing lights on to be flying safely and, anyhow, I used to live on a flight path for Toronto International and never saw lights this bright on any aircraft!  Pilots should be so lucky.
 
Just thought I'd tell you as we can't figure it out...all the best.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, Scotland UK Round Balls Of Orange Light
 
Date:  December 31, 2008
Time:  8:45 p.m.
 
Location of Sighting: Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, Scotland UK.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 5
Shape of objects: Sphere.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: While spending Hogmany at Loch Rannoch, my girlfriend and I spotted four round balls of orange light which seemed to be about a thousand feet above us and about halfway over the loch.The loch sits in a long Glenn and is surrounded by mountains and it seemed as though the lights were traveling beneath the height of the mountains.They followed an exact flight path to one another and were separated by equal intervals.A fifth one then appeared and joined the formation as the first one reached about the end of the loch and it faded away.Each one then did the same thing and faded away when reaching the same point.These lights were an orange colour and were round and about the size of a car.As they passed very slowly by and were very close to us I was astonished to hear not the slightest sound,nothing! There was no wind whatsoever so as far as I could tell they seemed to float past us.This was witnessed by other people outside the hotel and by some hotel staff. A staff member claimed there was military test ground nearby and lights etc are not unusual.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

East Orlando, Florida Square To Round Shaped UFO
 
Date:  December 31, 2008
Time:  10:00 p.m.
 
Location of Sighting: East Orlando.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Square to round.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: A few of us met at a friends house in east Orlando to follow each other to a New Years Eve party. When we walked out of the house to get in our cars, I noticed a square shaped object with what looked like a fire ball inside or to the back of it. It was traveling southeast in a straight line and it had no sound to it at all. I said to my girlfriend and 5 friends, "look at that, what is it" We all then watched it glide across the dark sky and disappear. We all watched in amazement so it wasn't until it was far away that I tried to record it with my cell phone. My friend lives in a neighborhood with not many street lights so it was easy to see and no one was putting off any fireworks at the time. It was the strangest thing any of us as ever seen in the sky.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Shoeburyness Essex UK Numerous Orange Colored Lights
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  12:05 a.m.
 
Hi, there, at 12.05am New Years day, my partner kids and neighbors were out front seeing in the New Year. We were watching the fireworks going off and we were all amazed to see a bright orange light. It looked like a large twinkling star, but it was bright orange. It was then followed by nine other lights moving very fast and in sequence and when they each got to a point and faded they moved from the east to west. We live in Shoeburyness Essex and we akk spent a large amount of time after trying to work out what it could be. I have seen clips of UFO balloons and they don't look like them as these were twinkling and very bright orange.
 
They had no other lights, although we discussed that it could be military aircraft, again no lights and we didn't think it was plausible as these lights were travelling quite close together. A neighbor further down came to wish us happy New Year and started telling us he had seen strange orange lights earlier in the evening. Well I just thought I'd share this with you, we were very sober and whilst I don't want to make a fuss about it, we are all very baffled, that is the ten of us that witnessed it. It actually frightened the younger ones, so if you can shed any light we would be grateful. Thank you for your time.

Shiremoor Tyne And Wear, UK Red Lights Make Unusual Turns
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  5.05 p.m.
 
Location of Sighting: Shiremoor Tyne and Wear
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Dome.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi, I am from north east England and today the first of January 2009, 4 of us seen a large red object in the sky. On first glance thoughts were of a helicopter or plane. There was no noise from it, it was like a light bulb shape at the top, sometimes orangey red in colour. It moved overhead in one direction and we thought nothing of it other than a lovely red light. Then it moved in the opposite direction and we became curious. Couldn't make head nor tail of it. After 3 minutes of first spotting it we then seen another red light similar but looked nearer us! No noise,or beacon lights, no plane wings, with the closest object we did manage to catch a glimpse of a halo light at the top. Also same shape and colours as the other one.
 
The sky was quite clear, small clouds further up, and the objects then progressed along the sky slow then fast in various directions and then sort of went straight up until they looked out of sight behind far away clouds! Amazing sights. Me and my partner and 2 children seen this at 5.05pm 1st Jan 2009 in Shiremoor, Tyne and wear.England! We did manage to take a small video recording on a mobile phone.
 
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Berrynarbor North Devon, UK Another Orange Light/Object Spotted
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  00.45
 
Location of Sighting: Berrynarbor.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: Walking home from our village pub a little after midnight following the New Year party, my wife and I stopped to admire some Christmas decorations on the houses at the bottom of the track leading up to our place. What seemed to be a Christmas light or firework came over the roof of one of the houses. It was like an orange lantern, (circular, but also, perhaps having some rectangular structure)  gliding silently and steadily through a hazy sky in which only a few stars were visible. We are keen astronomers and spend a lot of time sky watching, so we know when something is unusual and this was definitely the case. In fact, I'd been doing some astrophotography earlier in the evening (Venus and the crescent moon) and I'd brought my camcorder to record a few songs by the featured band. I was therefore able to get about one and a half minutes on tape of the object's passage from a southerly direction - veering toward the north west.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

West End Of Paisley, UK Witness Films Orange Glowing Lights
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  0500
 
Location of Sighting: West End Of Paisley, UK
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: One boomerang kind of shape and one long kind of shape, but rounded at the top.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: I was having problems getting my four year old to sleep last night because fireworks were being set off because of the New Year celebrations. So I gave in and put my lights off and myself and my four year old sat watching the fireworks from my living room window. As we were watching, I noticed an orange glow. It was small to start off with, but as it got higher in the sky it grew in size and got brighter. It came from the northeast direction of my window. I don't know what direction my window faces. Then a smaller light came up and this one grew in size as well, but not as big as the first one. They kind of half circled around each other and were two inches apart from the distance I was watching and it looked like they were dancing , it was very beautiful.
 
They were not traveling fast and they were quite slow. After a minute or so, the second one flew away into the distance, but I could still see the light, but it was very small. The larger one stayed there a bit longer then flew of in the same direction. At first I thought it was a helicopter as you get a lot in the west end of Paisley, but I opened my window and there was no noise, they were both silent. I think the first one was a dark shape with a light, but unsure if my eyes were playing tricks on me.
 
 When the first light caught my attention, I didn't know what to do so I grabbed my phone and video taped it for about a minute and a half and took several pictures. When I looked at the pictures, one of the lights is in a boomerang kind of shape and glowing bright orange, but it's a really clear picture. The second one is a longer shape, but not as orange as the first one.

My son watched this going on with me and I said to my son, look at the lights dancing because it was such a beautiful sight to see and watch. He watched then turned around and said, Mum, close the window, don't let the orange lights in. This was caught on my video. The pictures I took from 0500 to 0700 this morning just after the bell are quite clear and I really don't know what to do with them. Could someone contact me so i know what to do.
 
I went onto your website at the back of two when I calmed my son down and finally got him to sleep, but I'm shaking now because someone else saw what I saw and have the pictures to prove it happening as well. I am quite skeptical, but do believe that we are not alone and I believe that I think there is something after we die. But this thing that has happened, has really got me. But unsure in what way.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Wheatly Hills Doncaster UK Three Orange Colored Lights/Objects
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  12:10 a.m.
 
I just read a report about a UFO sighting in Wheatly Hills Doncaster dated 1st January 2008. (sighting was 2009) I saw the same exact sighting on 1st January, but 2009 at exact same time either he got the date wrong or it's happened again. These looked really high to me and there was three lights and they all went out at the same point of there destination, except one, which went straight up. I have never seen anything like it, nor did all my friends. Either it was strange awaiting some type of reply.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Worthing, West Sussex, UK Ten Orange Orbs Or Balls Of Light
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  12.15 a.m. to 1.05 a.m.
 
Location of Sighting: Worthing, West Sussex, UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 10
Shape of objects: Orange orbs or balls of light.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: I was outside with my partner, welcoming in New Year and watching fireworks over the rooftops nearby, when we noticed 3 large orange orbs flying towards us, high overhead, just inland of the sea, moving directly East to West. They moved at constant speed but in a clear triangle formation. They were large orbs or balls, and bright orange in colour. They appeared to be flying as high as usual commercial aircraft would over this area, estimate maybe 15,000ft, but with no sound or blinking of lights (we're both very familiar with various aircraft lights, living on flight-paths of Gatwick, Heathrow and a small local airport). These were much, much larger than aircraft lights, and much brighter, steady orange lights. Given the height they were at, they must have been of considerable size.
 
They reached a certain point in sky, still over the coastline, almost directly in line with the house, then seemed to shoot upwards and vanish one after another.
Several minutes later, another 3 appeared from same direction, and followed exactly the same sequence and triangle formation, reaching the same point in sky, in line with the house, then suddenly moved upwards and vanished.
 
I took a short video on the mobile phone, but it has not captured them anywhere near as clearly as could be seen with naked eye. I took a few still pictures also, but these have come out as showing the objects as white circles or disc shaped, and not as clear or bright as what we could see ourselves.
We couldn't take our eyes off them, even though we were freezing cold and would rather have gone back into the warm house, we stood there discussing what we had seen. My partner is very logical and analytical and tried to find a possible rational explanation but couldn't find any to fit what we saw. 
We were still stood discussing it when another 3 appeared, and again they followed the same path and formation before moving upwards vertically and vanishing, one by one, in the same spot. Then a final one, travelling alone, and seemingly much brighter and larger than the previous ones flew over. This too disappeared upwards in same location.
 
There was no wind, and no logical explanation for the triangle formation, flight path nor the sudden upwards movement before vanishing. They were definitely not fireworks, and from the size, height, speed, flight path and formation (and sudden upwards movement before vanishing) they definitely weren't balloons, planes or helicopters. We did wonder if they could be something related with the military, but we are within commercial airspace here, and even then we could not work out what sort of military craft could disappear so suddenly like these things did, or move so silently.
 
We were both 100% sober (non-drinkers) , nor are we taken to flights of fancy. My partner has never seen a UFO before. I've had one brief daylight UFO sighting in the past, witnessed by others, but am not a UFO spotter or anything of that ilk.
 
Later on, we joked about not going outside alone in case one of us was "beamed up", we were only joking about it, as neither of us is afraid of being outside in the dark or anything like that, however, the fact is we were both a bit spooked by it. There was a strange and eerie feel about the whole thing. We both felt (independently of each other) almost as if maybe we had been spotted, or had  been watched by these things, before they disappeared in the same spot above the house. We each had a sense that maybe they were watching us as much as we were watching them! Sounds strange, but true.
It's certainly given us something to ponder in 2009!
 
There may be plenty of other people who saw them? It was New Year, so quite likely a few folks were outside watching fireworks? Would be good to know if anyone else saw these unidentified flying orange lights.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, UK Orange Colored Orbs/Lights
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  12:15 a.m. - 12:25 a.m.
 
Location of Sighting: Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orb.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: Sighting occurred between 12:15 & 12:25am on January 1st 2009. In first instance I spotted two steady orange lights one slightly brighter then the other hanging in the sky to the west while walking in Black Boy Road, west, towards the center of town. At that time I took them to be stars or planets which were bright enough to shine through the cloud cover, and in doing so had taken on the orangey colour.

Within a couple of minutes I again looked upwards, this time only one was visible, it was moving slow and steady from north too south across the sky at an angle of maybe 50 degrees, at which point I pointed this out to my girlfriend, we both then watched as this lasted for something under a minute before it appeared to stop complete, it then changed direction heading into the west, it appeared to both accelerate and fade before disappearing completely.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Burslem-Stoke On Trent- England UK Round Ball Like Glowing Orange
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  1.25 a.m. - 140 a.m.
 
Location of Sighting: Burslem-Stoke on Trent- England.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round/ Ball Like.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: We were enjoying New Years eve round my friends. After seeing out 12:00am and celebrated New Year we proceeded to watch the fireworks off the balcony (my friend lives top floor on a apartment block) after watching the fireworks we started playing on the WII Fit. Then around 1.30am ish my friend jumped up out of his seat shouting what the hell is that? Myself, my girlfriend, my friend and his girlfriend all jumped up an rushed to the window, before I got to the window, thoughts were rushing through my head that it was a meteor, but then when I got to the window I could see 3 objects, which seemed to just be hovering they were all about the same height at a estimate I'd say 35,000 - 50,000ft.
 
 They were higher than a aeroplane, they were also at a estimate about a mile away from each other, so they were all the same height and evenly spaced in the sky, after been there 4 1-2 minutes they started glowing bright orange and lit the sky, then 1 shot off very fast, then the next, then finally the last. After they'd all gone we all looked at each other in disbelief, none of us are into UFO's, we were also gutted that even having 4 camera/videophones and also a digital camera to hand none of us took any pictures or video's. So telling people the next day as you can imagine was hard as we have no evidence but we all no what we saw! If any has any info or any other sightings that they'd like to share please do. another thing was I can't believe what I saw, I've never seen anything like it before I didn't no who to report it to? So if anybody can help me with that, that'd be great help. Thanks.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Location of Sighting: Paisley,Renfrewshir e, Scotland.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orange in colour - Round in shape.
 
Full Description of event/sighting: Went outside to watch fireworks after bringing in the bells. I looked towards the east of Paisley where most of the fireworks were going up, as I turned to go back inside, I noticed coming from a north direction a glowing orange round shape going across the sky in a curve path towards the west there were 2 of these objects a fare distance apart going in the same direction, same curved path, same altitude. There was no noise from these objects just an orange glow. Traffic control at Glasgow Airport must have seen these objects as they would have been west of the airfield.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Spring Hill, Florida Orange Object (Pictures)
 
Date:  January 1, 2009
Time:  Approx: 12:15 a.m.
 
I was in Key West Florida with family and witnessed the same thing at the same time.  We took two pictures, it looked like a rocket or a craft with orange flame, very bright.  It moved from one side of the sky to the other, very high, about the speed of a satellite.  Please do not publish my name, I thought that the pictures might be of interest.  I have seen shuttle launches and rockets, this looked like a rocket but no sound.  It moved at the speed of a rocket but disappeared after crossing the skyline. Kind Regards.

Barnstaple , North Devon England A Red Colored Light
 
Date:  January 2, 2009
Time:  7:50 p.m.
 
Hi Brian, About 20 minutes ago at approx 7.50pm , our dog was asking to go out the back, so I stood just outside the back door waiting for him to finish relieving himself as it's very cold here this evening, we've had a lot of frost and ice recently. As I was standing there, I glanced up into the sky , it's a very crisp, clear, cloudless sky tonight, all the stars are bright and twinkling, one of the stars caught my eye as it started to pulse very bright red becoming bigger then smaller (our dog had finished by now and returned inside the house, I'm still standing there freezing. Anyways, I wanted to go in to get my camera, but thought that if I did, it would be gone by the time I got back, so I just kept watching it.
 
I couldn't make-out any actual shape, it just looked like a red star amongst the rest, it then started moving slowly and purposefully from  east to a westerly direction, it was slow, quite low by now and totally sound-less, nothing , very smooth the way it was travelling across the sky. Size-wise, about the same size as the stars , but got bigger as it  appeared to come down to a lower altitude and moved across the sky as I've already described. I stood there for about (at a guess) 3 or 4 minutes watching as it pulsed a very bright red .
 
Could it have been some kind of military aircraft ?, but wouldn't there have been sound with it ?. The weather conditions here this evening are crystal clear, dry, cloud-less, very still and quiet evening as I've already said. I thought I just let you know . With best wishes.
 
Thank you to the witness for their report.
