I saw a big orange ball with a tail. I thought it was a meteorite, But it stopped between my house and my neighbors house. It crackled and disappeared. I thought I was hallucinating. Eight months past by and now I saw another orange ball with a tail. I could see it was not a meteorite. The flight was controlled. It looks like the orange ball forms a black hole and the orange ball explodes through the hole. It was weird.

Just seen two bright orange dots in the night sky in stockport… too fast to be commercial planes they gained altitude to fast to be jets.. and before someone comments they were not lanterns !! Are we alone?

On the evening of Friday 2nd September,I was sitting outside the front of my house listening to the Bulgaria v England match on the radio,when I saw a very bright orange light emerge from behind a row of houses in Walthamstow,London.There were lots of aircraft travelling in different directions in the night sky,but commercial aircraft have two flashing lights on either wing of the plane and a flashing light at the back,as well as having the sound of an engine.Helicopters make even more noise and they tend to fly around an area by encircling it.This bright orange object was much faster than an ordinary aeroplane.It was even faster than a Concorde,which do not fly in 2011.It soared in the sky off in an Eastery direction.Then I saw another one less than an hour later do exactly the same thing.I do not have a working camcorder but I hope that someone else has filmed it.I told a neighbour and he says that it is probably an aircraft interceptor,which apparently have been around since World War Two,some of which are at Gatwick Airport,but what would these interceptors be doing flying over Walthamstow on a Friday evening?Could these bright orange objects be UFO’s?

on Saturday (August 20, 2011), near to midnight, i saw 14 orange balls floating over the Thames in Putney… it was a beautiful sight and i took some pictures as i couldn’t get my camera to work, which was a shame as the pictures show no more than yellow dots… but it was an amazing sight and at one point i stopped searching for a way to make my camera work so i could have a good look… what are they?????

I have also enquire on the web and found out that in the same time they have been seen in Mexico and States.We did exchange the photos and videos and they are vey very similar.

I have seen the orange balls in 2010 in Kingston-upon Thames twice: in August and at the end of September . There were in a kind of formation with very fast and precise movement. I thought they were the chinese lantern at first, but after watching with my whole family their movement and recording on my phone for about 20minutes , they went towards Putney. Not lanterns definetly!

i doubt that they were chinese lanterns. it would be impossible for a number of them to be so precisely spaced apart.

i doubt that they would be lanterns. even given that ‘if’ they were,
there’s no way that 5 in a row identically spaced would be possible, and at that altitude they would not be that bright.

Someone needs to do an exercise to check how many of the “sightings” occur on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings or on bank holidays…. when people are most likely to be celebrating and releasing Chinese lanterns! Oh and whilst we’re at it let’s check the weather for dry nights vs rainy ones….
