Bedford, England, 1st January, 2008, U.K.
Time: 00.03am - 00.15am
Location: Really
hard to estimate; say 1000 - 10000 feet.
Description: 3
orange
glows/orbs
My 79 year old dad was in the street wishing neighbours Happy New Year. As I joined him, admiring the occasional firework, he drew my attention to 3 orange glows. I'm not sure of the direction, probably to the west of where we were standing.
They were steadily moving towards us, while maintaining their altitude. One was further ahead than the other two, which seemed to move in tandem. Their speed progressively reduced as they approached. When they were almost directly overhead they slightly altered their positions relative to each other, rotating through around 90 degrees.
They looked like elongated fireballs. There was no sound. Once in the position described they very slowly faded to nothing. The whole episode lasted around 10 - 15 minutes. Despite the occasion (New Year celebrations) I was sober, having consumed just half a glass of cava sparkling wine. If asked in a survey as to my beliefs re UFOs, I would describe myself as sceptical.
I saw what I saw, and have described to the best of my ability. Anyone have any ideas?
