　51/78/78. 14 August 1978 - 20:55 - Coalville, Leicestershire, UK - An unusual bright white light in the sky was observed circling above the local area by many witnesses - photographed. Witness stated: “I was standing in a field approximately 200 yards from Saint Saviours Road. I heard the sound of a passing jet aircraft and looked casually into the sky, which was by this time fairly dusk, and saw what I thought to be the tail lights of the aircraft looking like a bright star in the S.E. sky. After a while, the sound of the jet died away, however, the bright star-like light remained. I had my camera with me so I decided to take a shot of it, as I did so it began to move to the left and keep a fairly even height. I hastily set up my tripod and followed the object, taking photographs as I did so. When the object reached a clump of trees, situated near the bottom of St. Saviours Road, it disappeared behind the first tree. I continued panning with the camera expecting it to re-appear from behind the tree, it did not. There was no sound while this object was moving and I did not see it again on the short journey home. Just before it disappeared I noticed a flashing red light similar to an aircraft recognition light. From this, and from earlier when it appeared to be stationary, I thought that it may have been a helicopter.” (IN-NL). (Duckworth).

Witness stated: “I went outside and saw a very bright star in western area the sky. I proceeded onto the back lawn to view the rest of the sky, realising how insignificant the other stars looked against it. I then noticed a dark grey, cigar-shaped object, which stayed the same shape all the time it was visible. It was travelling from east to west. I then saw a light which I thought was on the front of the object, but could not see the light as it passed by me at approximately 60 degrees to the horizontal. The light appeared as a small torch light, there were no stars object’s position where it‘s light was after it disappeared. An aircraft was in the area when the object was visible further towards Hugglescote than the object was.”(IN-Med). (lufoin).

However, in front of Bardon Hill (which I was looking towards at the time) it looked not unlike a planet except a little larger. The light moved in a ‘L‘ shape up and to the right. In total I studied the object for approximately 2 minutes, then it dimmed until it was no longer visible.” (IN-NL). (Hannant). (lufoin).

Witness (B) stated: “As my friend and I were taking our dogs a walk around the outskirts of the rugby field, we suddenly saw a very large, round, as I thought at the time a vivid ball of fire that just hung there in the air. It was really bright and made me just stand and stare. Everything just seemed so still and quiet as it just hung there for around 30 seconds. The light then seemed to dim and then ’zoom’, it was gone. After it had gone, it seemed to go dark very quickly. We soon left afterwards. It was so real. I have only been down the field twice since then, but I haven’t seen anything else unusual since.” (IN-NL). (Sanderson). (lufoin).

51/08/12. 26 July 2008 - 23:20 - Coalville, UK - Two orange balls of light were observed crossing the sky. Witness stated: “I was asleep but my partner was awake because from nowhere fireworks were being lit and fired off. My partner woke me up because he saw these things and he was freaked out, I missed the first part of this however he saw them from the beginning he exclaimed they just rose from the distance into the sky (like a firework), but then they took a straight left direction, which fireworks do not do. In the distance, high up, the first bright light moved across the sky in a straight line, it was not flashing but it was bright - it was bright orange/yellow and had no distinct shape to it, like a fuzzy outline I suppose you could say circular. At first I thought 'plane' but then I saw the other one and was like, ok that’s definitely not a plane, with no flashing lights it just wasn't possible. What was strange is and determined suspicions that what we were witnessing was not natural not man made (i.e. aircraft) was that the first one stopped dead and didn't move, as the second object got closer it was practically next to it, when they were together as a pair they started to disappear, it was like it was waiting for the second object to join it. It looked as though they were flying so high into the sky that they disappeared they got fainter and fainter. More peculiar was that the third light followed the same path and when it got to the same spot it did exactly as the other 2 did. I was so intrigued, I could not explain it. my partner and me were not the only witnesses as there was a couple who saw them and I heard them say how weird it was, then minutes later another group of people walked by and they said 'how is it possible two aircraft could be that close together with no sound being heard either'. I could not sleep for the rest of the night, I was constantly at the window with my camera and camcorder hoping I could see them again, but they were long gone, it was weird. I felt scared that these could be real, I have never thought about Aliens or strange beings as I think sometimes there honest explanations, in this case, how cleverly they moved direction, (so smoothly), I have NEVER seen anything like this before.” (PE-5C).

With this I felt light headed and my hands were shaking, my heart rate was a high for a further hour after seeing what I saw.” (IN-NL). (uk-ufo).
