Location of Sighting: Mawsley, Kettering
Date of Sighting: 23rd May
Time: 10pm

Witness Statement: Went out to look at Venus in the western dusk at around 10pm. Saw an orange light which we immediately took to be an aircraft approaching from the south. As it got closer we saw a green flashing light which further suggested an aircraft (maybe tail light). However, as it came over the green flashing light appeared to be rotating around the object so was not a fixed tail or wing light. At its closest you could see a dark amorphous shape which appeared to change as it moved along; very unusual. The first object was followed by 3 more taking the same trajectory. The objects took about 2 minutes to make the transit across the south west to north west sky at about 30 degrees elevation.

So there may have been more but we saw 4 in total. I understand the lantern explanation for orange lights but have not read of rotating green flashing lights or the amorphous grey / black shadowy presentation of these objects before.
