Hi Brian, I have just Googled 'strange lights, Derby', because of an incident that occurred at between 8:00 - 9:00pm on Saturday 5 June, 2010. It was getting dark and I was in my garden when I noticed 3 bright lights, all appeared perfectly round and of equal size implying they were at an equal distance away from me, at about 30-40 degrees to the horizon. Two were positioned in horizontally, with the 3rd almost vertically below the one on the right side.

After a few seconds, they were joined by 2 more lights which approached from the lower left side and took a position below the other 3. I called my partner to witness this sighting, as the lights neither increased or decreased in size, their was no accompanying sound. I also fetched my camera and took a photo, but the images are very grainy.

I am a scientist by profession and have never seen or reported anything like this before.
