Location of Sighting: Pound Street, Bitterne Southampton
Date of Sighting: July 4th 2009
Time: Approx 10.30pm

Witness Statement: Large fiery Orange/Red oval shaped object about the size of a mobile phone with silvery shiny spikes (like needles) around the bottom. The object seemed very solid and slowly crossed the sky in complete silence. The object then stopped in the sky above a tree. At this point I called my wife to look as was completely baffled at what I was seeing. The object remained in the sky for about 2mins, then amazingly another object looking exactly the same came from the same direction as the first and moved towards the first object. This object then stopped next to the first one. The first object then disappeared behind a tree.This happened at least another 6 to 7 times with a total of about 9 objects being seen.

The sightings lasted over half an hour and at one time there were about 4 to 5 objects together above the trees. This sighting was told to me by my grandparents on Sunday afternoon and although they are very skeptical over the subject of UFO's they are both completely baffled as to what they have seen. They are both convinced others must have seen this incredible sighting and felt confident they would read in the local Echo about the incident. My grandparents are honest and sincere and are not prone to making up stories. This is an honest account of an amazing story told to me in confidence. If anyone was a witness to this event or anything similar on Saturday 4th over the Bitterne/Southampton area please leave a comment.
