Location of Sighting: Canterbury Kent
Date of Sighting: Friday 20 November 2009
Time: between 7 & 8 pm

Witness Statement: I saw two orange/red lights, I would say each light positioned as you may see a light positioned on the end of the wing tips of an aeroplane. We are under a flight path however see a few flashing lights on planes above us - these lights were not flashing and moving sideways across the sky (in different directions to the planes) in a direction approx. SW to NW. The very odd thing, these 2 lights (as if positioned as I have explained above) kept moving slowly in the same direction but then began moving slowly away from each other, as though making the gap between them bigger, gradually moving away into the distance still moving in the same direction, until they disappeared.

Another odd thing, approximately 3 minutes or so later the same 2 lights reappeared in the approx. original position I first spotted them & moved off again in almost the same direction, with the 2 lights "spreading" again.

There was no noise, & I believe it was not an aeroplane as if the lights were moving into the distance, away from me, the gap between the lights would have become smaller if this was an aeroplane flying off into the distance. These lights appeared a fair bit lower than the planes. My son also witnessed these lights & I have never seen anything like it. Can anyone offer any explanations?
