Date of Sighting: 9th May 2009
Time: 20:30

Witness Statement: Bright Orange sphere, estimate between 500 to 1000 feet asl. Size when first sighted was similar to small orange held at arms length. Object was moving very slowly from over the coastline when first sighted to over the sea in an Easterly direction. Object elevation when first sighted was about 60 degrees up.

No flashing lights or other lights seen.

No sound was heard either.

I ran inside to get some binoculars (less than a minute) but object was nowhere to be seen when I returned outside.

I understand that several other local people saw the same object plus one other that came along the beachline then shot vertically into space. I did not see this.
