Date of Sighting: 27th May 2009
Time: 10:20

Witness Statement: I popped into Tesco Eastville Cafe where I work, to finish off some paperwork. When I came out of the staff reception at around 22.20, I seen an object in the sky. I looked at it for a second and thought it was a balloon, but then noticed it wasn't floating up, it was soaring forward and at an incredible speed. It was a circular disk shape, not perfectly round though couldn't have been too big either, because it wasn't that high and had a yellow glow, it was a sunburst effect almost. But there was no noise. Tesco at that time isn't that busy so a aviation sound stands out a mile. I looked closer at this thing, which was pretty low but fast, it didn't deviate from its projection. But around 10 secs later, a bright light soared roughly the same direction, but at a much much higher altitude.

It moved faster than a commercial airline, but flew straight. It headed up towards Gloucester direction. If anyone else seen something similar, then I would really like to hear more about it.

It may well have been a chinese lantern, but it was fast, it had a burning effect at the back so who knows.
