Location: near Haven Marina Lowestoft
Date of Sighting: 21st April 2010
Time: 21.10 to 21.15

Witness Statement: I was looking at the stars. It was a brilliant clear night, no clouds without any aircraft due to the volcano in Iceland causing a no fly ban.

I saw an orangey red light, with a small amount of green. It was larger than a star and moved at a similar speed to a plane. It was traveling from the south-west to the south-east, low in the sky. My partner who is an aviator with over 7000 flying hours grabbed the binoculars. There was no sound and there were no navigation lights normally used for flying. He said he had never seen anything like it and it was definitely not a plane of any sort.

To the naked eye the orangey red light seemed to be the bottom of an orb, however through the binoculars the colour changed to white. We watched for a few minutes
Taking turns with the binoculars, I found the vision better with the naked eye. From where we are we would have a panoramic view, once the orb had traveled through an arc of about 90 degrees it disappeared very quickly, first into a bright white light, then it was gone.
