Walking home through town tonight, I saw at least 7 different orange lights travelling north from the direction of the sea over the city. They were quite spaced apart, so I only saw about one or two crossing the sky at one time. When I thought they were all gone, I saw another.
I managed to take a video of one when I stopped for my bus. Sorry about the crappy lens flares: the little white dots jumping around the object. Ignore those, we’re just focussing on the one orange light, here.
I wondered if these were lanterns carried by the wind, and I checked earth.nullschool.net for the current wind direction and speed, which seeemed to match, however these objects didn’t visually appear to be lanterns and they had no real form, just glowing orangeness, so I couldn’t really describe them as orbs either. They appeared to be travelling under their own power instead of carried by the wind as they always maintained the same altitude. They were travelling in a straight line horizontally in a north-north-easterly direction just above the rooftops. I didn’t sense any wind on the ground at all.
Interestingly, I also witnessed more strange objects travelling northeast up Upper Lewes Road a few months ago. It looked like two black rubber doughnuts stuck together – maybe no bigger than a coffee table. It was travelling just above the rooftops and was soon joined by an identical, but slightly wobblier one from another direction. They continued up the road together, just above the houses.
I checked the internet afterwards for drones that might have the same design but couldn’t find anything. Only 3 or 4 hooped drones. The one I saw didn’t have any fans or propellers either. It just looked like two small versions of those black tyres you inflate to go in the sea in, glued together.
I also had another experience when I was standing on my balcony at night. I’ve been watching the skies for strange things since the Grush revelation last year. I’ve seen a lot of aeroplanes and pretty much know their flight paths now. On this one night, I saw a bright white light above my building. It was quite far up, like a big star. It stopped for a moment and then slowly moved north until it was our of sight over my roof.
I’ve had someone with me witnessing the same thing on all three incidents.
Has anyone in Brighton UK or anywhere else seen anything similar?
