Location of Sighting: along A3095 between Bracknell & Sandhurst
Date of Sighting: 17 April 2010
Time: 23.00

Witness Statement: Firstly let me say this sighting has taken place during the volcano ash problem when ALL UK and most European flights are grounded by National air traffic service.

I have seen this same light 3 times now over a year, and twice in the last 2 months.
Always the same, an orange glowing light moving at varying rates of speed. Last whilst driving home myself and my friend saw if through the car windscreen heading north (we traveling towards Sandhust direction), quite high in sky and then we lost it as it passed over us. Arrived home a few minutes later and spotted it again lower in the sky, looking north again. The glow changed and it raised in height slightly, we got out the car and stood in the road watching it for a good minute. It seemed to get closer, then rapidly faded into the night sky. The sky was clear as we could easily see night stars. Again let me say there was NO air traffic due to the no fly zone in place. I am a former pilot and have a long interest in aviation, this object is no normal plane / helicopter, neither a chinese lantern object.

My strongest suspicion is that it is an experimental military craft in which case who cares anyway, but they must be a bit silly to fly it under the current circumstances and think it would not get noticed.
