Date of Sighting: 2 August 2009
Time: 21.30

Witness Statement: It was a warm clear evening with a light breeze as I was walking along the river towards Mudeford when I noticed a bright intense orange light in the sky. I watched closely as it drew nearer listening for the sound of aircraft engines but I could not hear anything. However as it came closer the light slowly diminished until it had disappeared completely. Then I could see the shape of the object clearly. It was sphere shaped and looked dark against the sky, I watched until it disappeared on the horizon. Then I walked further into the grass playing field, where I met a man called Jeff walking his dog. So I quickly asked him if he had seen the object in the evening sky, he said yes he had seen it and thought it was very strange, then as we discussed what we had seen, Jeff suddenly said look another one! I looked up and saw the bright orange light in the sky, & we both watched as the light slowly diminished as before, then we could clearly see again the shape of the object.

It was like the first one, made of what looked like silver metal in a perfect sphere shape. It showed no pieces attached to the sphere shape, and I could not see any visible lights attached to it. Each object was moving slower that a helicopter and they both seemed to follow a set course in a straight line, they didn't move like balloons, and it was no lantern. I would say it was about half a mile up, we watched as this second object disappeared going towards Highcliffe.
