Witness Statement: We witnessed a strange ball of red and orange light which seemed to come out of nowhere. At first we thought it was a plane or even a chinese lantern, but it couldn't have been by the way it moved. We observed this object get closer to us and then it went higher and away from us. At this point I got my camera phone out, when I did, the lights seemed to go out, when it did, we could still see the outline of it moving around the sky, it seemed to go back and forth. We waited about 5 minutes and then we saw the same object again appear in a different part of the sky. Just the same as before, bright orange and red lights, no sound at all, again the lights went out followed by the outline hovering around.

We thought this was really strange, we stayed up half the night looking at the sky but didn't see it again. Very strange indeed, it was not a plane, helicopter or a chinese lantern.
