Between 20 to 40 orange spheres baffled residents throughout the town as they witnessed the strange phenomenon.

The glowing orbs appeared at around 10pm on Saturday rising slowly into the clouds before eventually vanishing.
Tony Barber, of Farnham Lane, in Langton Green saw the spectacle after his neighbour alerted him. He said: "They were rising into the sky for about 20 minutes then they disappeared. We went outside and watched and tried to guess what they were. We couldn't really come up with anything except they were huge hot air balloons."
Comment: The amateur video is part of an impressive series that can be found here. The images appear to have been taken on December 7th, 2003, as displayed on the screen in one of the videos. As it surfaced on the Internet only 3 and a half years later we wonder how many more pieces of evidence are held by private people which remain unreported.
