Weather Conditions: Very still

Description: Was out shooting with a friend when we thought we saw a plane light very low. When viewed through my rifle scope it was clearly a dark black/maroon sphere.....no wings, no exhaust, no jet stream, no strings and absolutely no sound. I was in the middle of the countryside and could have heard a rat fart.

We both checked it out twice, agreed on the prognosis then scarpered very quickly.

When I pointed the rifle c/w high power Xenon lamp towards it, it turned off its lights.

It appeared to be between 300 and 500mtrs up and traveling around twice the speed of a light aircraft

TV/Radio: Reported to Huddersfield Police
