Location of Sighting: Caerphilly
Date of Sighting: 21/10/10
Time: 9.25 pm

Witness Statement: I was with my mother in our courtyard. We actually put a sighting on the website about a month ago. The exact same thing happened. A bright orange orb shape passed about 400ft in the air slowly. An airplane actually passed over during this period which was easily distinguished with sound shape and flashing lights. The orb passed below very slowly but was completely silent. The Orange glow then rose higher and higher then accelerating very fast away from us until it was a red dot in the far distance.

This was definitely not a chinese lantern as it seemed to move with a purpose. Meaning it changed speed and altitude several times before climbing at a high speed. There's not many occasions when I get goosebumps, but this was one of those days.

I'm struggling to try and explain it to be fair. But this is the second spotting in a month in the exact same area. My mother had the previous sighting which we submitted but she knocked on my window and called me out to the courtyard to see it. It was an orb shape around a few meters at a guesstimate, but it was bright orange, completely silent and moving slowly, then suddenly a fast increase in both speed an altitude until it was a red dot/spec in the distance. I would put my life on that it wasn't a lantern. I've seen them, this was nothing like it. Can anyone explain? Or did anyone else see anything?
