Okay first off let me say, I'm labelling them as UFO's considering they were Unidentified, flying and objects. I'm not sure what they were, if they were of "alien" origin etc.

Firstly I was explaining to my gf in the garden about something I saw the other night, whilst on the phone to her (which I mentioned in another thread here) And we suddenly saw something in the sky.

Now this "object" looked tiny, definitely smaller than a plane looks even at it's highest altitude in the sky, besides even when a plane is high up you can still make out the lights on the wings flashing... This object looked like a star, literally round and white not bright and definitely looked as though it were in the same altitude (So the size said) as the stars... I assumed satellite, but it was moving at quite a speed sort of from North-East to South-West.

Now the second object came just after this one but was MUCH closer, definitely in our atmosphere and moving as though it were a plane but it was extremely bright and looked like the Christmas Star would in a book although not as prominent; I assumed it was a plane this time as sometimes when they're flying "towards" you, they look bright but this was flying sort of 'across' me from South-East to North-West and my gf and I don't recall planes ever having bright lights on their sides... I also watched a plane which was coming in behind this object and waited to see if maybe it was flying the same course so the previous object would have been a plane too but it wasn't...

No before anyone asks I wasn't able to grab a photo but my gf tried w/ her mobile phone to get the first object which was way too far and I didn't even think about saying anything about catching the second.

Now... I know this isn't exactly "Great posting" but I just thought I'd share my experience. Any ideas on what they could poss' have been?

Funny you should say that Woody, I am in England... But, London nowhere up north.

The object I saw, now come to think of it was quite a decent bit lower than a plane would 'likely' be although not too long after we did see a plane flying EXTREMELY low for London's airspace. - But yeah this object seemed to have a slight 'tail' although I never saw where it went as it dipped behind a building and I couldn't move anywhere out of my garden to get a better view.

Curiouser and curiouser ... the thing I saw dipped before it disappeared too.

Surely can't have been the same thing that we both saw but a good coincidence. I wonder if anyone else has seen anything similar tonight ?

Woody

Well, even though there is no photos or anything, I still believe you two. It also is very possible you two could have seen the same thing. Maybe it was at different times, but in the same area. Who knows, maybe it was traveling extremely fast, since one of you said that it disappeared, maybe at light speed?

Just a thought...

Thanks for believing us ... threads like this (without pics) usually get the naysayers flaming in droves (must be a quiet night tonight).

I don't know about the OP but I wouldn't have had time to pick my camera up (it's right on the desk beside me), and focus before it disappeared.

My desk is right in front of the window and I just caught movement outside in my peripheral vision (pure flook really).

I'm guessing the fact that no-one else has stopped by to say they saw something similar means we must be the only ones who saw it/them !!!

Woody

SoD you make a good point and it's not impossible that the same thing could be seen by the same people in diff' parts of the country.

Woody - What time exactly did you see your object?

I've been scanning the skies for as long as I can remember, as someone said once on a UFO based show people don't spend enough time looking up at the sky.

These 2 objects are probably the twelth and thirteenth objects I've seen in my life atm (I'm 26 now).

I may write about my other experiences at some point.

Edited to include response to Woody: I dont actually own a camera since my house was broken into a while back and my camera/laptop and some other stuff was stolen and as a student right now I can't afford it lol.

But I think where I was (in the garden) I wouldn't have had time, this thing was moving; not too fast but fast enough for me to have bolt across the ten/twelve feet of Garden to keep track of it.

I also believe you, I read your post and its awesome, Wish I could have seen it, I actually have seen something out of the ordinary once, I have shared my UFO sighting in one of my threads i started here on ATS, I cannot wait for the chance to hopefully see something again.

Hey no problem, I think everyone's stories should be considered somewhat true, especially since two people have stated they saw pretty much the exact same thing. Keep a look out, and have a camera ready, haha. If you do catch anything or even only see anything, let me know.

hmmmm !!! my last reply seems not to have appeared on the thread ... you watch by the time I've posted this one the first will be there too.

I had tried to explain that I can't be precise about the time other than to say it was sometime between 9pm - 10pm.

Sorry to hear about your camera and laptop ... want me to hex'em for ya ? *joking I'm not that kind of witch*

Woody

Strange Woody... My gf just confirmed that we saw the object around 10pm.

Thinking about it now, I remember quite correctly because I remember wanting to get back in to see if "Anonymous" had DDOS'd Foxnews.com as they predicted they would at "5pm EST" which is 10pm our time.

Honestly, I believe you two saw the same thing. I mean, come on, around the same time, same description, same country.

I would be pretty sure that the same thing was seen by both of you.

Well that does seem to be a little more than coincidence I guess !

I wonder why no-one else has reported seeing it on this thread ... there have been many who have checked the thread out without posting ... maybe we're 'special'.

Hey there,

Well I can't speak for the OP but I've seen the ISS a couple of times and what I saw the other night was nothing like it ... it was much to low in the sky for one thing.

This was really bright white with a short tail. I was in my upstairs office and this was more or less eye-level ... passing behind the gap in the two cottages opposite.

I'll take a photograph tomorrow and upload it, to give some kind of perspective.

If it had been higher in the sky I would have assumed it was a 'shooting star' but like I said before this was much too low.

Woody

sounds like a satelite and a helicopter.

helicopters can be really confusing at night. haha

i remember being terrified by a helicopter last year. i live out in the country and apparently one of my neighbors a few miles away had to be care flighted to the hospital, but im out back in this field drinking and talking with my friend and we see this large object floating on slowly over the field and moving toward us.. We freaked out because theres really nothing out there. it was also only like 50 feet in the air and just slowly hovering and wasn't very load untill it was really close. kind of odd. but once it was directly over our heads we realized what it was.

But it looked really unusual and pretty scary.

I've seen the EXACT same thing on three separate occasions up here in Canada. Once in Antigonish NS, once in Moncton NB and once in Calgary AB. It's like an extremely bright, white light that looks like a star, but it's very low, most definitely in the atmosphere, and not the ISS or a satellite. And it is NOT a helicopter or plane. The light remains extremely bright from whatever angle you look at it. I'm not sure what this is, but I've been watching the skies for 15 years and the only thing I can say that I've ever seen that I couldn't explain was this thing.

Nice information, just wish you had a camera.
