A man from Oldland Common has reported what he believes were UFOs in the sky on New Year's Eve.

Chris Lacey's account of the sighting is at www.uk-ufo.co.uk

He said: "My wife and I were watching the fireworks going off for New Year's Eve and I saw this orangey/red flying object move swiftly across the sky.

"It then stopped and changed direction; at this point two more of these objects appeared and flew towards the other. They then all moved off in different directions steadily but swiftly.

"These lights were definitely not planes or helicopters as the movements were too smooth and the speed they changed direction was too fast.

"My wife is a big sceptic when it comes to UFO sightings, etc, but even she has to admit to being completely baffled and agrees they were not typical aircraft and neither were they Chinese lanterns."

It is not the first sighting off a UFO in Oldland. There was one on a dry and cold night in 1995, according to the website ufoinfo.com.

The statement from an unnamed witness says: "I was walking home through a lane in Oldland Common/Warmley to go to my house.

"The lane had fences on both sides and there were gardens of houses on the other side. As I was walking in the middle of the lane I saw this weird disc thing hovering over the fence - so close I could touch it almost.

"It then whizzed over my head and back to the fence, it was like it was playing a game. It was about the size of a hand in a fist. I watched it for a bit thinking it was a remote control toy being operated from someone's house.

"However, the movement of it was so advanced I realised that it was definitely not a toy. I walked closer and the disc that was solid and made a strange sound disappeared so fast into the night sky it left me baffled and excited.

"I did not report it to the media although the next day they were lots of reports of strange things in the sky that day."
