On Saturday the 2nd July, my wife Angela & I were returning by car to our home in Bexhill, following a family visit to Kent. On the way back, at around 10.40pm, we passed through the small Wealden village of Catsfield. Shortly after leaving the village, we drove over the brow of a low hill before the road then decended into a shallow valley. As we came down the hill, my wife was first to notice, a large group of very bright, circular lights, which were hovering at various levels, across the night sky. They were all further down the hill, to the right hand side of the road.
At first sight, we thought that they may be some very low stars, or perhaps, a huge fleet of search-helicopters or even a large group of hot-air balloons, that may be performing at some kind of late-night event, but as we moved closer & drew alongside them, it soon became obvious that they were a whole fleet of low-flying airships, the like of which, neither of us, had ever seen before.
As we coasted down the hill, their lights were so powerful, that the night air surrounding them, seemed to be illuminated, like some kind of stage-set. The weather conditions that night were clear & still & we could hear no sound emanating from the lights. I slowly brought the car to a standstill, pulling off the road at the entrance of a small lane, leading to a Christmas Tree farm. We got out of the car with our two cameraphones. There, right before us, we could see as many as ten, yellow-tinted, white lights, which were all hovering & manouvering their positions, whilst flying in close proximity to one another.
Unfortunately there are still some people who are unaware of Chinese lanterns.

". . . their lights were so powerful, that the night air surrounding them, seemed to be illuminated, like some kind of stage-set. "
"We were dumbstruck by the controlled & deliberate flying display that was taking place."
"We then noticed two further lights which were coming directly towards us . . ."
". . . the whole fleet then began to fly away, two at a time. Each duo of ships, accelerated quickly & smoothly, up to what must have been, a considerable speed."
"Without doubt, what we witnessed on July 2nd was neither ball lightning, nor an electrical lightshow, nor were they satellites, nor were they shooting stars, nor were they civil or military aircraft, nor helicopters, nor Chinese lanterns, nor hot-air balloons."

Very interesting case, thanks Frank.
But we need to read an independent account from the Mayfield witness before concluding that he 'saw the same objects'.
i see lights in the sky behind a tree where i havent seen any before (living in the country, i know the houses and the place pretty well). I take about 10 minutes trying to get a better look but can only see white lights looking as if there turning off, and turning on. I go into my house to top floor to get a better look, about 5 lights changing color and moving very oddly up and down, left to right, and keep making a triangle like structure. I then see aplane going behind the tree and then bizarrly turns back and heads the other way, ive never seen an aircraft change pattern that fast before, im not sure if it was because of these ufos or not. I go to get my phone to record, but there gone. ive had a lot of experiences with weird lights in the sky, but most of the time there probably satellites or space stations. however i really cant explain this at all. Someone else must have seen it?..

Have the couple had any missing time or other anomalies recently?

Might be useful if the witnesses could get out into the fields and see if there are any markings or anything else laying about that shouldn't be there.
Late September seems to be a popular month for multiple lights and other type sightings.

Thanks again, Frank.
You've made your point and I much look forward to seeing the results of the investigation, and the pics, in due course.
And I agree that it's a good idea to publicise the case at this stage; perhaps as you say more witnesses will come forward.
