Red and
black grenade shaped object seen flying over rooftops
along
Abingdon High St, no engine noise, not an air
balloon, no
blades as with
helicopters, no avaition lights, not a
microlite as no noise, flew over at
approx 150-200feet
appeared as a
black orb then changed colour too red, approx
size no
smaller than a new mini car, seemed to be
following the
River Ock, not a
light aircraft as
definately 3D grenade shape, far to small to be a hot air
balloon, no passenger basket underneath, it's change
in
colour was not the
result of a
burner being used or from
internal lights, appeared to
take on a
metal look once it
had
changed colour was travelling faster than a microlite and
was heading towards Abbey grounds and meadows, was seen
between 6:45 and 6:50
PM.....
I
am used to all sorts
of aircraft we regularly have
helicopters,
hot air
balloons, Lear
jets, commercial aircraft, Cessna's, gliders, police and
military aircraft flying in and above Abingdon air space
this was none of those,
seemed to be
suspended in mid air
without any means of support was not
floating
or gliding
was under power
and flying in a constant straight line, was flying
through
sky like an upright egg not horizontal like a
cigar
appeared over
rooftops as a perfect black orb upon
colour change it changed shape and looked
just like a
giant red metalic
upright grenade, it disappeared over the High St
and was
no longer in the sky where it should have been
there was
no cloud cover,
it was no larger than two new
mini cars side by side, it could not have been a
weather
balloon as these float/glide
whether going up or down and this was
definately under
power there was absolutely no engine
noise, either the
roar of
a plane, the swoosh of an
helicopter or the buzz of a microlite.

here for another case with film footage from the area in
