Time: 11.30

Witness Statement: We were sitting in the garden with a group of friends. We had had a barbecue as the weather had been quite nice and as it had cooled down in the evening we decided to have a fire in the barbecue. A bright light in the shape of a circular disc appeared in the sky with very distinctive lights, directly above the house - at the same kind of height a helicopter would be. It seemed to come closer as if it were looking at the fire. It stayed for approximately 2 minutes, it then grew smaller until it disappeared into a small orange dot - we live quite rural so it was not a street light and there was no noise at all - it was completely silent so can't have been a helicopter or aeroplane - did anybody else see anything similar in this area?
