Unusual Flying Objects [UFOs] Sighted Over Oxfordshire, UK

Came across this footage through a post by chaztekno in another thread and thought I'd share it with you guys

Aerobatic aircraft? The objects have the maneuverability and speed typical of aerobatic propeller aircraft; smoke trails could be for visual effect. However, the lights are very bright and the objects are in flight at late hours which seems a little unusual.

Remote control aircraft? Definitly possible - the objects seem to have the maneuverability and speed typical of such aircraft; the lights and smoke could be produced by flares on the wings. However, they seem way too bright and too large to be conventional RC aircraft.

UFOs? The objects are bright and constantly lit (without flashing) which is common of UFO sightings. However the tail left behind the objects is not typical of such craft which are thought to run on 'clean' propulsion technologies.


It doesn't appear to be a hoax or a deliberate set up

I have no idea, I really don't. When watching it move up and down, like caught on a draft, it made me think of a hang-glider but no gliders that I know of have a bright light or streaming tail. I love how this object disappears in the sky, rather than behind the trees. Adds believability to the video.

Cool, at first thought the way it moves it remined me of a stunt kite. but the trails look like a flare or firework, the strange thing for me was the way the whole tail faded out as the flare died right at the end on the last left to right pass. that seemed to suggest it was edited in.. but it certainly looks like a real display up until then
i would place my money on a remote control plane with a flare or firework attached.

but good find

looks like a set of kites captured in the setting sunshine for the glow, but i see a billowing tali.

Looks like a radio controlled plane with a flare stuck to it.

It could even be a manned aerobatic aircraft similar to Bill Leff's Starfire show.

COOL, loved the music
this looks nearly the same as the first video. yep i would say it was something like this, even explians the twin trail in the first video, and if it was a model plane doing the stunts then that explains the lack of navigation lights.

Case solved

Good job guys!
