Location of Sighting: Reading, Berkshire
Date of Sighting: 13 December 2009
Time: 5.55pm

Witness Statement: I had gone to my car to collect some shopping when I noticed 3 really bright orange lights approaching from the North. No particular formation and traveling the speed of a normal aircraft. I could see normal aircraft around the night sky and these objects were much different. Apart from being Street Light Orange they were incredibly bright. Then as they approached me the two on either side the middle one changed directions and one went West and the other East, and within a few seconds they both disappeared. The middle one continued forward for another minute until it too disappeared.

As I was about to go in to tell my wife what I saw, I stopped as another one coming from the same point of origin started coming towards me. I watched as it flew the same path and then I ran to my back garden to see if I see it continue its journey, on the way I called my wife so that she could witness it. Unfortunately it never appeared and must have disappeared the same way the others did. These were NOT normal aircraft and were traveling way too fast to be Chinese Lanterns. Also Chinese lanterns would not go off in different directions but be subject to the same wind conditions as the others. It was not windy at all.
