I was in a group of 5 adults, camping and we all saw four strange lights. Coming from the direction of rendlesham, then near farnham the lights faded out and then about 10 mins later a single light appeared near saxmundham near Ipswitch and went west in the direction of sizewell.
Date: sat 26th july 2008
Colour: Orange lights
Formation: not really but seemed to be moving to Y shape.
Noise: None
Height: Guessed at 5000 - 10000 meters
I’m not saying aliens but UFO for unidentified.
If they were lantens which is possible then i wonder how they started off far apart and seemed to head to a formation unless with assisted remote control but that’s very high for a normal transmitter.
Could these lights be mistaken for dabries from space?
No possibility that these “strange lights” were just normal, human, aircraft (incl. helicopters), Peter?
They were sky candles, know this because it was us that set them off at a family barbeque! They even had the formation mentioned and have pictures of them to prove it!
Sky candles in rendlesham from Market Drayton??????
However I can reveal that we are being invaded by invaders from outer space.
These aliens walk around wearing hoods over themselves so they cannot be identified - normally in groups of 4 or 5.
Quite often they have headphones attached so they may communicate with the mothership.
And these aliens are already eroding our country, experimenting with liquids found in corner shops and noxious chemicals.
We must do something - people must be warned
Did anyone see the bright light in the sky moving towards the west on Sat evening of 27th at about 10.30pm over shrewsbury?
There were some odd lights over shell island on Saturday night. Something to do with an idiot and a green lasor light.
Think sky candles are more believable than the little green men taking over! And they weren’t from Market Drayton!!!
Was just wandering if anyone saw white light over wrockwardine wood tuesday 7.35pm and wednesday approx 7.50pm,12th & 13th nov?
I know there are people out there who have closed minds,and think they know everything,these are usually people who are really scared whitless in reality,thats why they take the micky out of people and generally make a pathetic joke about the subject of ufo’s.
The first sighting I saw was a bright white light travelling at speed,which I only saw for a second before it dashed behind the clouds.
At first I thought could it be a meteorite?or shooting star,or even space junk?
But I did’nt think it was any of these just something unusual.
Second sighting was’nt too far away from the night before,only difference being it was moving very slowly,I just thought it was a star,till Irealised it was moving.
I went to video it with my phone,but by the time I got it from my pocket and went to start,the white light just faded away as if trying to avoid detection.
Come on then you know all’s lets here your explanations,balloons,mars,venus?
