Location of Sighting: Darlington
Date of Sighting: 23/12/09
Time: 7:00 PM

Witness Statement: Walking home with very clear skies, I noticed what seemed to be a very bright dark orange / red star constellation with about 12-20 "stars". I thought for a moment that it could be part of a large crane doing work on the hospital until the crane came into view andIi noticed these "stars " were higher & to the right of the crane. Twice houses blocked my view as I walked and whenIi saw them for the third time they seemed a little fainter. I put this down to stronger street lighting, however my view was blocked for about a minute and when I got to a view point they had all vanished, yet all other objects in the sky remained.

I walked back to the place i first saw them but no sight of them at all. They were static, but flickered like bright stars and were in a westerly direction.
