Date of Sighting: 05/03/2010
Time: 10pm approx

Witness Statement: we were watching tv when my wife said wow tha'ts fast when we both looked out of the living room window we could see two large orange lights moving much faster than the planes that come into land at Doncaster airport. We then went outside to the back garden and both lights had increased the distance between them and slowed down to almost a standstill before moving off south west.

About 15 minutes later when we were again watching tv 3 more large orange lights were seen moving at great speed and in formation in the same direction as the first two lights again by the time we went from the living room to the back garden the lights had slowed down to an almost stand still but were now some miles apart from each other and we watched the furthest of the three disappear as it headed south east towards the Mexborough district, the final light shrank in stature and then disappeared from naked eye view. My son had come downstairs from his room to witness the disappearance of the last light.

What were they? At the speeds they had been traveling and the distance that they put between themselves in the few seconds it took to get from the living room to the back garden, they certainly were not chinese lanterns.
