I was standing in the back garden of my house for about half an hour since 8pm, and it was a clear, calm, mild night. I thought at first I witnessed a shooting star in the West South West direction as I was standing by the back door of my house. I thought, 'did I just see a shooting star? or was it just the bright star to the left of Orion which was in the vicinity of West South West too'. I also heard one dog barking nearby just prior to witnessing this object.
Not too long after this, I believed that I saw something round, shining or brightening up in the distance. I believe it was yellowish-orange in colour. I first thought it was just a chinese lantern rising up but I wondered how it would move with zero wind, and why is one floating about in March, that's why it got my attention. I felt sure that I witnessed a yellowish orb powering up or brightening up in the distance. Anyway, something kept my attention so I made sure I paid attention to what it might do next.
I believe the actions and motions of the object made a steady motion towards me, in a straight line probably at a height of about 200 -300 feet, speed about 40 mph I would guess, and perhaps it descended slightly in height over its trajectory. At some point from watching this, I became aware that the object had changed or morphed into what I would describe as a light aircraft. I also heard the sound of what seemed to be an engine. I would describe this sound as a drone noise as opposed to a piercing or vibratory noise which I believe a real light aircraft would emit. I clearly remember that this object had a long, cylindrical light or beam, I believe in its centre, from front to back. I think it was white, or maybe light turquoise. I also remember one light flashing which may have been yellow. It may also have had a small side light on each wing, I don't know the colours.
I sincerely cannot recall what shape it was, because I was surprised at the long thin white beam on the object, so I do not want to hazzard a guess. The object came over just to the left of my house, perhaps 100-150 feet above the ground. I just watched it fly past thinking, 'no way is that a plane, that is NOT a plane :)'. Then I quickly moved to see if I could follow its trajectory as it passed by. I would say it went at a fair speed, say 40-50 miles per hour. I believe it covered a distance of about 1.5 to 2 miles from its start point to when I lost sight of it.
My feelings as I saw this was just that there was something not quite right about this scenario. one, because it was supposedly a light aircraft flying low over my house, and two, it was mid evening. So as it came nearer to my house I thought with a smile 'no way can this be a plane'. When I thought it could have been a UFO, I got a little anxious and nervouse at that point. I wondered if it could have been an A.I. controlled object, whether it knew I was standing below it, or even whether it put on some display for confirmation, I cannot answer the real motive here. Other than what I have described I had no other reactions. I had a wry smile on my face watching it. So absolutely no telepathic communication going on, no electrical or radiological discharge or anything, no tractor beams, fancy light display, no missing time (I believe) or timelessness, no altered or heightened state like love or fear etc.
I finally lost sight of the object because it disappeard into the darkness in about 5 seconds. I don't know if it literally vanished, went invisible or shot off into the sky. I just can't believe noone else may have seen it.
So what I remember most of all is this long thin white beam on the object and one flashing light, maybe yellow, and of course the sound of a light aircraft passing close at low altitude over my house. I cannot remember the shape of the object, nor the size, perhaps it was the size of a light aircraft.
The frustrating thing was, I did not have any instruments at hand to record it, view it or even signal to it. It caught me
completely off guard. So I have no video or still photo as further evidence.

HELLO where are you in the country, I saw this EXACT thing explained tonight in snaresbrook, north east London, it was bigger than you describe it but I saw it tonight at exactly 8pm!! Me and my friend saw this and thought it couldn't be a plane, too big, top slow, it seemed to be a lightish colour and it defo had electrical lights similar to a plane, at around three or five past 8 it suddenly vanshined in the trees, my first sighting I never believed in that sort of stuff now I'm a believer
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThe report doesn't actually state a location i'm afraid. if you want to, write a proper sighting report for us and we will publish it here for you.
saw same description as you about 8.15 object descended upwards into a small yellowish dot then disappeared, on first observation it had been a bright orange cylinder shape burning bright in the clear sky, no sound at all. Hazel newcastle upon tyne. march 23 2011.
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I'm guessing you don't have pictures??
I am in souhend, a couple of weeks ago I was in my garden about 8pm I saw what I thought was a Chinese lantern in the sky. As I watched it began falling in a to and fro motion, like a feather, then it stopped, acended again to above its original altitude and then , well I wont say accelerated as that implies increasing speed, it was stationary then moving at constant speed , eastwards at about 500 mph , I would say about speed of a hawk jet, we have annual air show here, so I can make a guess there. No sound of course.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteSorry, there was not enough time to take any pictures, it was gone before I could grab a camera.

We get quite a few UFO sightings in southend / uk before and after the airshow. In 2009 there was a huge house sized fireball in the sky, with no smoke trails and no sound. It looked like the sun and travelling horizontal, at a very fast speed. Myself and my wife spotted it in the sky, it was about as high as a block of flats would be. If it was a meteor, something of that size would crash into the ground with a large amount of damage and I doubt that it would circle the planet under the atmosphere as gravity would have played a part in that. We were surprised and amazed at what we saw, but not shocked. I think in this day and age people are more open minded than the governments/agencies may think. Something is going to change before long.
ReplyDeletesomething IS indeed already changing, so you're right. I wonder, if it's for the best? I hope so!
