Date of Sighting: 9th May 2009
Time: 02:10am

Witness Statement: I was traveling home from work Chirnside to Berwick road as approaching Foulden. Was distracted with a large white light traveling at a constant speed roughly about the height of a helicopter usually travels. I first thought it may of been a plane but the light was too large for this plus there were no coloured flashing lights that a plane or helicopter has so ruled them out. I then thought it was a shooting star, but this object was traveling too slow. Also shooting stars are much smaller in size. I was reluctant to submit my posting until there were further sightings posted in the Berwick Advertiser but these sightings were of an orange light.

But this may be due to the fact of the Street lights in Berwick projecting up to the object ?? I saw the object only for about 20-30 seconds until it went out of view it was traveling towards Ayton direction. I then traveled through Foulden until there was more open viewing again but there were no other sightings. The sky was clear that night with a full moon cascading light over from the Cheviot direction.
