Witness Statement: Last night in the sky I saw lots of planes on usual flight paths criss-crossing my area of sky, we are under so many flight paths here, and the dozens of daily planes are noisy and with red and white flashing lights, all clearly distinct. So too are the police copters.

I also saw a bright white light coming from the SSW and traveling E, it could have been two lights not one, very large and close together, and it was silent, and going along a path that is not usual for planes here, and as it did, it passed a plane which was so obviously 'different' and noisy, because it came from the area the light was heading and veered toward the NW and came overhead.

The white light(s) continued silently and slower, on path, long after the plane sound had gone by, and it was still larger and moving across behind me as the plane got larger and smaller, noisier and silent, in passing.

I tried to get pictures of the light, and though they are not good quality, they weirdly came out orange and not white, with one part, more solid as an orange orb. I didn't see orange at all with the naked eye.

As I turned, another plane was traveling across the sky from the East to NW as well, and a bright small white light was flashing on, then off, around the back and sides of the plane, seemingly, playing dodge with it, and it looked like a star, lighting up, then going off at intervals, and then it sorta stayed in that part of the sky as the plane disappeared both noise and sight wise, to the NW. And then it went out, like switching off a light, but it was still in the same part of sky the plane came into sight.

Then yet another of these white, larger lights, appeared, traveling from the SE, to the North, and again, planes could be seen and heard and grow larger, smaller, louder, quieter, flashing red and white, but this one, slower, just beamed large and white and again, I took pictures, and again, they were not that brilliant because again, they came out orange... sort of stretched, not laddered like a plane lights do... and again, there are distinct small orange orb shapes inside them.

Orange... when I was watching white???

Thoughts on this appreciated ?

Anyone else see them too?
