Full Version: Anyone else seen these orange-red objects?

Apparently many people have seen unusual sightings of bright single objects moving across the sky and most have been seen recently, and last weekend especially within the united kingdom. I have some proof of these on image.

Seen as red-orange bright balls either very high or low in the sky, they were seen travelling at a very slow speed or as one person used "phenomenal" in other cases. The objects hovered for at least 2-3 minutes perhaps longer and then dissapeared. They have been seen at all hours (last year I sighted one at around 3am and moving very quickly and very high up). They produce no sound.

Last weekend there were a spate of sightings in Swindon. Instantly, the possible suggested answer was fireworks or sky lanterns, but this has even started to pick the mind of skeptics, and many cannot explain it.

Sky lanterns do exist and funnily enough do look odd, but what we captured on image and film last weekend clearly do not resemble lanterns. These are aligned perfectly - and one of the objects are triangle formation if you take a look.

What are they? alot of people simply do not know so far, even though the possibility of Sky lanterns are in their minds, the possibility of a ufo's are aswell. Our noted sightings are very much like those reported before, single objects which, to the naked eye only look like bright balls high up moving at slow or fast speeds, stopping for at least 2-3 minutes and then vanishing. It is only when you download our images directly from digital camera and zoom in to the maxium view settings can you see these strange objects.

I am not a ufo expert of scientist but am very open minded about the whole thing.

Below are four original but zoomed in images of the objects we sighted and captured on our digital camera. The first three have been left alone, but image four is an edited version of image three - just so we tried to eliminate alot of the light and glare, and make out the true shape of these "things".

This is what we found (ps: images are sourced under us as the original owners)

I and many other's find the whole thing bizarre. Anyone else seen the same kind of thing? what do you think? the newbury story is possibly unexplainable. Would be grateful to hear back from anyone who has experienced the same thing. Cheers!

Ive seen the same fireballs several times in florida. ph34r.gif I saw one change from a fireball into a triangular ship.

Now that is incredible. I hope that is a genuine answer also. We have been hesitating to give these images out, but for the fact that so many people have seen the same thing, (including fireballs) and triangle shapes.

Weird.

I live in Florida and I saw just yesterday three lights flashing in unison. I traced a line with my finger from each light and figured that that would be the shape if it was a UFO. Their color was that of those cell phone towers, but they have never been there before. I doubt that they were cell towers because the day before, I was looking towards the same spot and I saw nothing. They stayed flashing with maybe a four second delay between each flash. The flash was that soft kinda flash, not that flash thhat just appears and disappears, if you know what I mean.

Yeah. The strange thing about this though is in every occurence, each sighting seems to do the same thing, and even those in newbury. For the fact that objects have been seen hovering and leaving drivers braking on major roads is quite convincing, because you would think that an article would be released explaining what they was if they were identified objects. I recall in one article that certain people have been unable to account for the sightings. The newbury article is interesting.

These were moving quite away across the sky, there was hardly any wind about - it was a perfectly clear and cold night and I think we had northerly systems so the wind direction might not tally with the way they were going (west to east), they were also spotted in other parts of the sky.

Also for the fact that they were seen so early in the morning and late at night aswell on ocassions, well I know what I saw at 3am one morning. This was high up yet clearly bright -it was producing no sound. To my knowledge there were no displays on at around 12am on sun.

If they are ufo's - for the fact that they came here on bonfire night and around that time is quite odd. Perhaps if they are anything, they did not want to be seen and knew they would blend it. You just don't know until you are convinced either way. I think though, the alignment of them is quite special. We also got them on video tape.

Weirdest thing.

Where I live we don't get them. That's pretty interesting, Shiftnote.

I live in Florida, yet I have never seen a UFO in my Life. Those images could easily be Camera Glitches, or some kind of light substance, but that really does look like a UFO. It matches a good description, with the Lights are everything. For all we know, "they" may be coming sooner than we thought.

Whilst I'm open minded and appreciate any given answer, I can guarantee these are not camera glitches. People have actually seen these things with their bare eyes and actually made out the triangle shapes. In alot of cases they appear to be triangles and are very bright. Well sky lanterns to my knowledge are not triangles and are seperate objects. How can something stay so perfectly aligned for so long whilst getting battered around by higher wind turbulence? - and for the fact that they hover each time before dissapearing.

In most cases you would expect to see the object carry on its track and then come back down to earth as it loses power (like hot air balloons). Very, very strange indeed.

Well I was just saying it was a possibility, but it really looks like a UFO. It fits the classification, and that doesn't look like a "Secret Military Ship" it can't be. I will keep my eyes, to the skies.

You reply with as many possible answers as you want! original.gif

I have tried to be as logical about this as possible myself. It's just something does not add up really.

I think it's recommended to read the newbury article aswell, that's so interesting! - objects from things such as fireballs and things with sparks coming out the side have been seen aswell. These objects were also very high up. I doubt very much members of the public will get away covering up a ufo hoax such as this one without getting caught, surely disgust.gif

Yeah I have considered the military thing myself. But if it was a cover up I'm sure they would not be flying it over populated towns (not being sarcastic, but these are things which account aswell)

Cheers!

I just noticed how I said a hoax like this one. What I mean is that a hoax has been a suggested answer, and again if you read the other article you will see that. But I used that as an example to prove how difficult it would be to forge something like this.

That is very interesting you should say that, but other people have witnessed different colours aswell in some of their previous sightings. The main colour this time seems to be red-orange, but I would not put it past these things to be able to change into anything.

I honestly believe they are ufo's. I have seen images of red ufo's seen elsewhere which look alot like our sightings. What gets me is how everyone is so gripped on them being lanterns, and when they see the images they are baffled.

I spoke to someone who actually saw lanterns and said these are not them. So I presume the round orb like object is a fireball basically. To the eye each object just looks like one light, so they must be very high up.

Alot of people are very confused, and more so that the story had previously already unfolded in newbury.

I don't know where they are from, but it's certainly something which pushes beyond the boundaries of my mind for now!

the great thing about this is that all the images (except the edited one to take out the glare / haze) have been untouched, what you see is what you get if you zoom right in to the original images. I mean you are talking a fair height up here...well in the case of my other sighting last year original.gif


RollingThunder06
How many other people were with you when you took these photos? Do you think it was one craft or several? Haven't spotted any but am very interested.

During warm weather I sit outside and sky-watch often at night. I saw a yellow-orange fireball type of thing hovering in the sky one night around mid-September. This one was lower in the sky. It just appeared there suddenly, hovered there for approx. 1 1/2 to 2 minutes and then just disappeared as quickly as it appeared. It didn't travel across the sky at all. I have no idea what it was, but it was certainly interesting. I live in a very rural area of Nova Scotia. I've seen quite a few unexplainable things in the sky around here.

There were 6 witnesses in this house who were with me when I took the images, a further 4 relatives saw the objects a mile or so away, my dads friends also sighted them and the same night and by the looks of it people who I do not know saw the same (triangle formations). And NOBODY can work out what they are. According to the newbury story, the MOD and Met Office are unable to account for the sightings.

Each object was single, there were many objects, but each to the naked eye just looks like 1 orb / ball. It's only when you download the original images of each object taken from the digital you can see a bank of lights.

Interesting pics, shiftnote. I too thought that fireworks might be the answer considering the abundance of them at this time of year. Did you crop these pictures right down, because they appear to have been? I'd be interested to see the full-sized originals because it might be easier then to determine what the objects are.

Yeah I did. Those pictures are zoomed into maxium possible view to enable us to see them more clearly. The 4th picture has been edited to take out alot of the red and glare so we can get a better look at what it is. In the original images, the objects look so high up it's quite hard to make them out.

ps: we cut out the area with the object from the original picture, so yes they are only slices of the original pic.

they are from the commonwealth of federated planets...the fireball is one of our main cloaks...people are supposed to think it's a shooting star or a meteor...the federation is running 5 different kind of ships here and 2 kinds of drones...the ships that make the fireball cloak are called tiger ships...they are 250 foot triangular ships...that can fly or go fully submersible...full cloak or partial cloaking...bottom line..there is about 10 billion ships in the Quadrant cloaked..keeping us safe from the aliens we pretend arent real. thumbsup.gif

Hi Shiftnote. I have seen a red light in the sky about 12 years ago now. I was out at Sand Point and would of been early hours of the morning (don't ask).

It was a reasonable size light like looking at a street lamp, in red and moved slowly with no sound what so ever. I am no expert either but my dad was very much into his planes and taught me alot about them so I can usually identify if it's a plane or a helicopter which it was neither. I have sighted something near the airport aswell, but I'll leave that for another discussion. The pictures are great by the way. thumbsup.gif

I saw the same sort of thing the other night. While driving home from work i observed an orange ball in the sky that did not move. It faded away and reapeared a little to the left. It repeated this cycle adn then went away. I am not saying this was an alien craft or anything, but it was damn weird. This happened in Ohio.

Thanks for the excellent stories guys! keep them coming!

After reading some reports on here, I am even more convinced. At first I thought it was all way O.T.T and perhaps we were looking far to deeply into it, but in instances such as this I think you have to.

I've been looking very deeply trying to gather together anything I can, more so that people have also seen their own sightings. For the fact that most skeptics who originally thought they were lanterns now do not, it is very interesting.

I went through the middle phase of trying to think of reasonable and logical answer's, I too am noway an expert or specialist, but it does not take an expert to say how unusual these are. hmm.gif

Well, if they are carrying an incredible amount of weight that would do it.
I saw a USAF transport carrier loaded with tanks that reminds me of that, but of course the angle of the lights is all wrong for it to be one of those, and as far as I know that is the largest transport carrier in the world.

very similar to what i reported tonight, 4 orange fireballs that looked like a meteor breaking up. the lights had tails of light behind them, but only lasted a couple of seconds.

strange thing is it broke up after passing through low cloud.?? (was seen shortly after ufo sighting)

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful. They're just beautiful. That reminds me of the red ball of light that I seen slowly zip across the sky as I fixed my field of vision to the western part of the sky.

I live in Nova Scotia as well, as you probably already know. I, too, have seen a few unexplainable things in the sky. Here is one of the few experiences that occured after I called upon extraterrestrial beings.

I was standing outside at around 11:00 at night with my dog, and I had asked the extraterrestrials to show me their ship. I didn't really see anything, but about five minutes later, I noticed a moving object in the sky. It was bright like a sattelite, but it shifted paths very slightly. Immediately after it shifted paths, it just... burst into a bright light and disappeared.

Another experience occured when I was outside with my dog again one night. I, again, asked the "extratrerestrials" to let me see their ship, but again there was no response. As I turned back to the house, a bright red object appeared and kinda moved across the sky a moderate but steady pace, but disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Pretty neat, huh?
shiftnote
Cheers dude.

I just feel so privileged to actually have the original sources of these images still on the cameras memory card.

I would like to remain a mix of skeptic, logic and open minded (or all the same thing). Yes we are confused, yes it does resemble a ufo, but there is still that final answer to tie the question. The way you can look at it is, it is either a ufo or it is not. That shortens it abit!

I can now say that the press have these images, they are looking into it and an answer should be suggested or thought of soon. So let's wait and see.

If they can account for other people's sightings and info, this is probably the most exciting thing in years should it be anything! apart from my images, other people's stories and sightings are just as important and very much tie in with eachother.

But again, I cannot stress enough how open minded I am. In minds eye, I think I already know it is a ufo....but things can change. original.gif

this is a bitmap i did in paint so its very non realistic but the way i saw it was like your photos from photobucket except instead of orange it was a irrodesent green and then left diagnoly and vanished the rest of the pic i posted here is pretty accurate and after this thing vanished it left a green vapor like mist in the night sky that slowly disapated in a two-three hour timeframe.[attachmentid=29315]
hope this helps your experience , then it would help mine

That is incredibly interesting Abecrombie.

Makes you wonder if there are different types of ufo. It's a good description though. Good pic description too! original.gif

.. although the objects seen here did not leave a vapor trail to my knowledge, but there was red mist / vapor and glare surrounding it.

I have only seen what could reliably be called a fireball once. My wife and I were star gazing in the mountains when a ball of light about the size of my thumbnail at arms length went from one horizon to the other. It travelled just slightly slower than a slow moving shooting star. It was much quicker than a jet. It had sparks coming off of it as well, so that rules out a satellite. If it was a meteorite, then it was making a very lateral dive. It was orange/red and completely silent.
ufo guy
in ww2 each side saw them same thing a fireball and thought it was an enemy
oldie
My brother and I were going to a ball game in 1961 and the saw them. We were so astonished that we stopped the car and got out and watched them travel across the sky until they disappeared. The location of the event was rural Northeast Georgia, USA.
