Location of Sighting: Gorleston, Norfolk
Date of Sighting: 03/02/10
Time: 1600-1615

Witness Statement: I was stood in the garden of friends house today , when I spotted a strange dark object high in the sky, to the north.As a keen birdwatcher for 35 years, this is nothing unusual and usually on closer inspection, through binoculars, these objects turn out to be nothing more than balloons or on a couple of occasions weather balloons.

But as soon as got my binoculars on this,it was something out of the ordinary.
What I saw was an upright dark cylindrical object, more or less stationary in the sky.

I would say 2000 feet up with what appeared to be vapour being released from the bottom.

I called my friend outside to look and she agreed it was very strange indeed. we continued to watch it for 10-15 minutes, I asked my friend to go fetch my telescope so I get a closer look. After setting up the tripod etc, which took about 1 min. The object had vanished.

When I returned home I did a quick google search and found a film on you tube which showed an identical object.


What we saw was exactly the same except ours remained upright throughout the period we observed it.
