Location of Sighting: Gosberton, Splading, Lincolnshire
Date of Sighting: 8th August 2010
Time: 00.45am

Witness Statement: Letting our dog out in the early hours of this morning, my partner and I saw a large bright orange light moving at great speed across the sky. To our surprise it was followed at regular intervals by seven more. They were equi-distant apart and were traveling at exactly the same speed. They moved from north to south then veered off eastwards and disappeared. Although the colour was a vivid orange they were certainly not Chinese lanterns (I have seen these before)

They resembled the colour of street lights and were extremely bright. The lights were constant, there were no intermittent flashing side or tail lights with them, although there was the slightest movement to them, maybe atmospheric? My partner thought that each individual object may have been made up of more than one light source.There was no sound at all and the night was calm with only the slightest breeze. I am an ardent sky watcher, own my own telescope and have NEVER seen anything like this before.
