Shape of objects: Circular
Weather Conditions: Clear, slight haze up to ~1,000 ft

Description: Traveling at altitude and high speed, a succession of (6-8 observed) bright, silent, steady orange lights moving from west to east at approximately 45 second intervals. Most traveled constantly but one disappeared when overhead, another two moved off South at high speed, one of which appeared to have a tail.

Later we saw a large, hollow unlit cylindrical shape at much lower altitude descending gently as if in free fall. The cylinder appeared to be approx 100 ft in diameter, about twice as long and made of fabric or similar material, flexing gently in its descent. At its present rate of descent it should have landed in the vicinity of Baildon or Otley, but unfortunately passed out of sight behind trees before we could determine its likely landing site.

Please let me know if this observation has been reported by others.

Thanks.
