The UFO Phenomenon

Two UFO sightings over UK UFO 'hotspot'

Two UFO sightings within the space of a week have been reported over Essex and Chatham.
Ernestas Griksas took the first picture outside his house in Chatham which showed two bright disc-shaped objects in the sky. A second photograph showing almost identical objects was taken by car salesman Josh Cummins in Essex a few days later. "'I nearly crashed. I stopped to take this picture with my mobile. It was like the UFOs were surfing the clouds. They were there for 15 seconds then vanished," he said. "I wasn't a believer in UFOs but this made me think again."
They hover in close formation against the backdrop of a cloudy Kent sky. The two mysterious bright lights were photographed on January 6 floating over Chatham.

Sure look an awful lot like downlights reflected in window glass to me. Where are the full-size originals (inc exif) and details of the camera and settings used? To properly investigate this, I would like to also see some wide views of the scenes, including an image taken from the reverse direction - sufficient to verify exactly where the camera was. If the claimants aren't willing to do that, I think I can guess why.. Given these were supposedly taken in reasonably populated areas (and the second one obviously at a pretty sunrise, so surely others would be looking up), where are the other rep... [More]

May I suggest something as simple as desk lamps (though recessed lights seem more probable)? The fact is, these pictures are extremely easy to create and hoax.

First the UFOs were in Scotland, then they went to Italy, now they are in Chatham. Wow, their voyager miles must be piling up.

Different kind of cherry picker. If it was just the second picture posted, I would easily agree with the reflection idea.. But doesn't the first picture (the one with the post in it) seem to be taken from an angle that would only have to be in the street, and not behind glass?

Do these U.K UFO`s come with a side of Banggers and Mash ? We can only hope. Personally, I was hoping for some Yorkshire pudding

Geographically it is not that far from each of the alleged sightings. Would be interesting to find out whether the two guys who took the pics know each other in any way. It is certainly not inconceivable. That would be my first line of enquiry if I was investigating this.
