Tonight, whilst parked-up
in the Aldershot Arena, near Farnborough, Hants 31/10/08, we (Ken and Hilary of
BEAMS), witnessed some interesting phenomena. We were just about
to leave from what we thought was going to be an unfruitful watch, when we
suddenly spotted a bright orange object suddenly appear in the sky. I
quickly got out of the car and with my camera initially set on night shot, I
zoomed in on the object, carefully re-setting my camera to normal
mode whilst continuing to film. Hilary watched the event through
binoculars. Unfortunately this recording was made through a high, chain
link security fence, so my vision was partially obscured, but still the
resulting footage is quite detailed and
clear.
I can say with some certainty that what I
filmed was no plane or anything else so obvious, (such as a flare, which I
thought it might have been at first), Chinese Lanterns and such like, due to
several factors, e.g. the absence of strobing lights etc, etc, but most notably
it's movements; in particular at near the end of the sequence when the
object can be seen to reduce in size, it is apparent, (particularly
when viewed on a normal dvd player and tv rather than the slightly grainy You
Tube player), that this mysterious aerial body performs a kind of
horizontal hyper-leap, covering many miles in a split second, as it
flits to the right hand side of the picture. The general area where this object was seen to appear
above and travelling across was between Lynchford Road and the Cockadobbin
roundabout. Incredibly, after we left the area, eventually heading along the
Fernhill Road towards our house, we witnessed two more strange, very bright
objects in the air above Fernhill proper, which I attempted to film from inside
the vehicle. Hilary had to find somewhere to stop, which was
extremely difficult with loads of traffic behind us...so hence there a bit
of swearing on this next video I am afraid, as "one car after another" had
to swerve around us as we pulled up on the side of a very busy road on a Friday
night. KJP
