As we were on our way to a skywatch at approx 7:15pm, travelling along the M3, we (both my partner and I), witnessed a low flying, vertically elongated orb, (at about 500 feet altitude), salmon pink to dull orange in colour, slowly flying alongside the road, (thouigh opposite direction), from the Newnham-Old Basing area, west side of Hook, towards Basingstoke.
As we were motoring at quite a speed, with traffic behind us, we couldn't pull over on the hard shoulder to photograph the object, which is a shame as this would have been a peach-of-a-picture if we could have, because of the ufo's very low altitude.
We both saw this thing clearly, it was quite magnificent, yet creepy, and a fair old size...certainly no party lantern, with no flickering, no strobing, no navigation lights.
