Witness Statement: Driving down Penns Lane I noticed what can only be described as a glowing orange orb out of the passenger side window and quickly got my girlfriends attention. It was hovering in the sky above some houses and we were that amazed by it that we pulled over and got out of the van. The object hovered for another minute and then moved slowly east whilst speeding up and then slowing down again. All of a sudden it sharply changed direction and was heading south. Within 3-4 minutes it was almost out of sight in the far distance.

Obviously it was hard to gauge speed/size or distance but something about its erratic movement left us with goosebumps and rules out chinese lanterns. Did anybody else witness this also?
