Date of Sighting: Weds 8th July 2009
Time: Approx 10.30pm

Witness Statement: My nephew has just called me having witnessed a bright red light fly incredibly quickly (approx 30 miles in a couple of seconds) and then shoot up through the cloud layer and disappear. It was being followed by RAF jets (approx 9 of them, 3 got close before it flew off) and the same jets are now still circling the area an hour later, covering an area of approx 5 miles. I know that RAF Barkston Heath is over in that area (sighting witnessed from Donington, Lincs) but the red light flew so very, very fast, it seemed out of this world.
