We filmed it with 2 camera phones 3.2m/p and 5m/p the better camera produced a pulsing effect. Were also viewing it with a night vision scope and binoculars. We seen what looked like helicopters flying around now and then nearby as the distinctive lights gave us the impression that’s what they were. We noticed it was getting lower but this was very slow. The craft was near the location of the quarry next to farmers field which I know off the back of my hand. We popped next door for a short time, came back about 9.45 and it had gone.” (PE-2B).

As an ex-army veteran I have seen both normal and war planes and other devices, but I have not seen anything like this before, plus it was quiet and cylindrical no markings just very fast.

It had been a very hot day, there was no wind and as I drove past the playing fields and there was a fog over the field and road. it was a very strange experience. Also I saw 2 young men one in a car and the other on a bike next to the car, pointing at the object from Garrett street so I know we were not the only people to see it.” (PE-5C). (uk-ufo).

　 77/09/35. 1 July 2009 - 23:32 - Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK - A large orange ball of light was observed in the sky by 2 male witnesses. Witness (A) stated: “We were standing at the top of the garden in Queens Road looking at the stars with my telescope when my Dad alerted me to a large orange ball hovering above the house, it seemed to move towards us with speed as it suddenly became larger! I grabbed my phone and managed to record some good footage of it. When enlarging the video, what we saw as a large orange ball looks more like a golden square with a gap underneath it, where there looks to be yellow ball shapes spinning? below them again a golden square shape? It seemed to dance on the spot for a short time before darting to the left, it then seemed to move closer before slowly moving down behind the houses across the street where the old football ground used to be. This object was far too for us to mistake it for a plane or anything else, and by the enlarged film we cannot link it to anything explainable.” (PE-5C). (uk-ufo).

Coming closer and then further away and changing shape slightly now and again. 2 black ball - shaped objects in the sky drawing closer to each other and also changing shape to a funnel shape as they got closer they were in the air above us for all the time we remained at the site (only about half an hour) It was deadly quiet and not a sound in the area. No visible explanation for this as there are only a few houses backing onto the site. The pattern was quite repetitive and so we decided to make our way home. Quite amazing to watch.” (PE-8H).

We watched for about half an hour, then I looked out again about 1 hour later and it was still there.” (PE-8H). (beams).

77/09/88. 18 September 2009 - 00:10 - Bulkington, Warwickshire, UK - 2 circles of misty lights were observed in the sky. Witness stated: “My Husband and I are both retired science teachers. We live in Bulkington, a semi-rural location in Warwickshire. On Thursday, September 17^th., at about 12.10 a.m., (Friday September 18^th.), I went up to bed and, as usual, I went to the window, drew back the curtain, and looked out over the drive, and the drives of three neighbours… one house to the right, and two to the left. There is a street light on the right hand boundary of the house to our right, and another to the far left of the bungalow furthest away on the left. This is quite a distance between the lights, so this stretch of the lane is quite dark. There are no lights at all on the other side of the road, the gate to the fields opposite is directly across the road from our house. From the gate to the left, trees bordering the field line the road, for about 100 yards. Briefly, my attention was drawn to what I initially thought was a gust of white smoke, high up, maybe 30 plus feet, ! By the trees to the right of the field gate and above the bungalow (diagonally to my right). My thoughts at that moment was that it might be a garden fire, but then dismissed the idea as ridiculous because of the time. I was about to turn away from the window and go to bed when the ‘oddity’ appeared, from the same high point in the trees. I can only describe what I saw in the simplest terms possible. A circle of white blobs/mist or smoke, about 20 feet in diameter in total. There was a distinct outer circle, and then an inner circle of these ‘blobs’ all quite regular in shape, and individually distinct. I have to use the word ‘blobs’, because there was no suggestion of substance or solidity about them, and yet they were not amorphous. From my window, they appeared flat, and two dimensional. The entire circle moved sedately across the sky.”(PE-8H). (Beams). (lufoin).

77/09/89. 18 September 2009 - 00:10 - Bulkington, UK - A circle of white ‘blobs’. (DE-8H). Explanation: Nightclub spotlights on low cloud. (ufoinfo).

Witness (A). stated: ,“We followed an ambulance to George Elliot hospital in Nuneaton. Myself and my colleague left our patrol car, and the ambulance driver got out. He then was looking up at the sky, so I looked to see what he could see. The was a pulsing orange orb travelling across the sky at some speed, we then noticed a second, and finally a third. They were all following exactly the same path, and were spaced the same apart in a line. The first one however was just going out of sight as the third one was entering our vision. That is how fast they were moving.” (PE-5C). (uk-ufo).

We saw these for approx 90 seconds then went under a bridge. When we came out they had gone. This area is regularly flown over by aircraft from Birmingham and higher level flights, so we are used to aircraft lights at night. These were definitely not normal aircraft lights. I’ve never seen anything like this before. A PC has also reported seeing similar lights at this time.” (PE-5C). (uk-ufo).

Witness stated: “I saw two, round orange glowing lights that traversed the sky in a south to north direction at the same height and kept the exact same distance between them with no height deviation. Travelling at a steady pace, they went out of visual range. A couple of minutes later a formation of 4 of the exact same type lights followed in the exact same direction, height, speed and heading in a straight line one behind the other, with the exact same distance between them. These four lights then began to change formation very smoothly with exact precision into a perfect diamond shape, with equal spacing between the four, and then also carried along the same track until out of sight. If this was not enough, to my amazement a final light followed, on the exact same trajectory, height and speed as the others. This final light however, seemed to be a little larger and the glowing orange aura around it larger than the previous six lights. My wife and both my children also witnessed this phenomena. I am also ex-military and have worked at and around airports for many years, and can categorically say that these lights were not aircraft.” (PE-5C). Possible Christmas Day Chinese Lanterns.

They were moving very fast. I went out side to get a better view but could only see one, it was glowing orange and the edges looked very fuzzy and then suddenly the light went out and I could see a dark sphere shaped object .and then it disappeared in to the distance. All this happened about 10:15pm. The thing about all this that there was silence and could not hear any engine sound.

I kept eye for 2-3 minutes and noticed that all the other planes were flashing red and white lights whereas this one I was looking at had continuous green and red coming from it - all of a sudden, its path seemed to waiver and its direction of flight change dramatically. I have no idea what this flying object was, but I don’t think it was a plane at all. I ended up losing sight of it within an instant, therefore couldn't investigate further.” (IN-NL). (uk-ufo).

It kept disappearing behind some trees along the railway track behind our house where I got occasional glimpses. eventually it entered a clearing, just above a metal girder which ran vertical to the track and to the right side of our garden fence, it hovered their for a good 5 minutes. I would describe it as a very bright light, about the size of a star in the sky from where I was - it pulsated orange light on the side which were barely visible but I could see them blinking. before it started to dim and disappeared from view. their was no sound but that of a plane that had flew past during the event. had it been a helicopter, I’m sure a propeller noise would of been discernable - we have them fly past all the time and you can hear them from some distance. This "object" made no such noise and its flight path was too erratic to be that of a plane. My brother can testify to the whole event as he was with me throughout.” (IN-NL). (uk-ufo).

Two lights remained but were very far apart from each other, one high in the sky, the other just higher than eye level. We checked periodically until the cloud covered and the lower light gradually moved away until it was behind trees. The other remained in the same spot.
