Long Green Yellow Shaped Object Seen Over Chelleston In Derby UK

 
Date:  March 3, 2012
Time:  Approx: 9:40 p.m.
 
I seen the same thing over Chelleston In Derby was about 9:40 p.m. It was a long green and yellow shape as it passed over head and away from us it look kind of orange and bitty hard to explain. Really!
 
It was moving very fast and got my phone out to video it, but by the time I did this, it was gone moving slot faster than a plane and looked pretty low.

Star Like Object Comes To A Hover Then Moves Off Over Littleover Derby UK

 
Date:  February 19, 2012
Time:  7:00 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Circular.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was walking my dog when by coincidence I looked to my left and saw what I thought must have been a star. Being a bit of an amateur star gazer I carried on looking at it whilst trying to figure out what star it could have been, when suddenly it seemed to be coming closer and closer and then it just hung there in suspense and hurtled off back.
 
I went home and did some research as I thought it may have been the ISS, but it wasn't so I came here and reported the sighting.

Bright Orange Ball Over Barrow Upon Trent Derby UK

Date: March 7, 2011
Time: 8:15 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round orange glow.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Walking my dog in our quiet village this evening when a low strange glow caught my eye rising up from behind some trees, East Midlands Airport is close by and I assumed it was a plane/helicopter! I lost sight of it behind a building, but quickly caught sight again just at the point the object stopped dead in the sky!

At this point I took a much greater interest in the object, due to the fact that it was completely silent? With no other sounds around I stood in complete silence looking directly at the object for around 2 minutes, the object was a bright orange ball with what looked like a dozen or so legs which was about the same length as the ball itself, the object then started to move upwards until it simple disappeared out of view.

I've never seen anything like this before and I would like anyone to give me a viable explanation please.

Orange Light Seen Over Mnasfield Road In Derby

Date: October 31, 2010
Time: 6:30 p.m.

My husband and I have just seen the same thing as described in the report of an orange light over Mnasfield Road in Derby on 27th October. The time was 18:30, the direction of travel was due south. I thought that the height was a few hundred feet, but my husband says no more than 2000 feet. There was no noise at all, complete silence. There is no street lighting in our village and there was no passing traffic.

Kind regards.

Orange Light Over Mansfield Road Derby UK

Date: October 27, 2010
Time: 6:45 p.m.

Last night I witnessed an orange light in the sky. It appeared strange, so I got out of my car to observe. The object passed directly overhead and then disappeared.

Height: Difficult to estimate the height, but would guess 1000 - 2000 feet.

Direction and speed of travel: Travelling in a north-easterly direction at approximately 100 knots (very rough guess as the height is also a rough estimate).

Description: The light was bright orange and steady with a 'cone' of orange light beneath it, similar to a searchlight, but only a very short cone. This cone appeared to be 'looking' from left to right either side of the direction of travel, and as it passed overhead appeared to be looking behind and again swaying either side of its flight path. There was no noise, no flashing lights, no other lights visible and no other shape apart from the light source, although difficult to confirm this as it was dark. Approximately 15 seconds after passing overhead it simply disappeared - there had been no deviation from its flight path or changes in speed prior to the disappearance.

I have no idea what this object was - it certainly was not a Chinese lantern, since it moved too quickly, it's light was much too strong and steady and it travelled in a perfectly straight line.

I have over 5000 hours flying Tornado and Hercules aircraft in the RAF, but still cannot identify what this might have been, which was why I looked on the Internet to see if there had been similar sightings.

Just thought this might interest you. Yours.

Large Glowing Orange Ball Over Derby UK

Date: September 12, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Derby.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was sitting watching TV on sofa and my partner was asleep next to me. I have French doors in my lounge and as I was watching TV, something caught my eye in the sky. It looked like a large glowing orange ball and was moving quite fast upwards. I woke my partner up and we went outside to look at it. There were 2 planes in the sky at the same time and as it was quite cloudy, they just appeared as very small blinking lights in comparison, the orange object was a lot bigger and moving a lot faster.

It then slowed down and almost stopped and then continued until we could no longer see it. It was visible for about 5 minutes and I even rang my mum to see if she could see it, although her garden is obscured by trees so she couldn't As I was talking to her, it disappeared anyway. I have absolutely no explanation of what it could have been. It was very bright and very orange and definitely was not a plane, it was too big and moving far too fast.

Orange Light Seen From Chellaston In Derby UK

Date: September 2, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.

I saw an orange object burning in the sky last night from Chellaston In Derby at around 23.30 (2nd September). I couldn’t figure out what it was looking out of the window so went outside to have a look. Even though it was traveling horizontally, It definitely wasn’t a plane.

My initial thought was that it could a satellite burning up on entry, but it seemed far to close to be that and the direction it was traveling wouldn’t really have supported that theory . No idea what it was so had a look online today to see if there were any other sightings, and I saw your website.

Bright Orange Ball Of Light Over Mickleover Derby England UK

Date: July 23, 2010
Time: 10:55 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Mickleover, Derby, England.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Ball of orange light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Further to our 3 previous sightings during May and June 2010, we believe we have just witnessed our 4th sighting of an orange ball of light. We were outside looking up at the sky and noticed a very bright glowing orange light travelling fairly quickly, horizontally, in a north to south direction.

It was completely silent, not flashing like an aircraft, and we would say it was not a Chinese lantern as it was moving very purposefully against the general wind and cloud direction. We only witnessed it for a minute or so as our view was then obscured by trees, and we were unable to make out any particular shape even with binoculars.

White And Orange Light Over Mickleover Derby England United Kingdom

Date: June 25, 2010
Time: 22.30ish and 22.45

Location of Sighting: Mickleover, Derby, England
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1 white at 22.30 and 1 orange at 22.45.
Shape of Objects: Bright lights - 2 separate types, 1 white, 1 orange.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Very shortly after submitting a sighting from last night, my husband and I went out into the garden tonight at 22.30 and a few minutes later spotted a very bright white light, similar to the sighting last evening (Thursday 24th June) again travelling silently and horizontally from the southwest to the east. Whilst standing outside, some ten minutes later I then noticed a very visible bright orange light coming towards us which I thought at first was a plane, but it was soon obvious it was exactly the same object we had previously seen back on 22 May and again on 11 June - totally silent, an extremely bright pulsating orange fiery light, and what my husband described as a darkish "aura" around it. It travelled very quickly indeed from East to West on a horizontal path and was soon out of sight. As before, we are sure many other people will have witnessed this. Would really like to have an explanation for all these recent sightings.

Bright White Light Over Mickleover Derby England UK

Date: June 24 and June 25, 2010
Time: 23.45 and 00.30

Location of Sighting: Mickleover, Derby, England.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Bright white light, varying in appearance.

Brian Vike's Note (Sightings.com): In regards to this sighting report and many others I have received. Folks are going to experience many extremely bright, white light sightings over the next few days. The International Space Station (ISS) will be in constant sunlight. You can also visit http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html Human Space Flight to check on your area for the ISS sightings. It is a spectacular sight to see.

This information is courtesy of Space Weather.com - For the next few days, the behemoth spacecraft will be in constant sunlight as its orbit lines up with Earth's day-night terminator. This means it will shine brightly in the night sky every single time it passes overhead. Some observers can see it 3, 4, even 5 times a night! Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center has prepared a movie showing the simulated view from a sun-facing window on the ISS and the movie clip can be found at: http://www.spaceweather.com/ along with more detailed information.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Incredibly we have just witnessed our third strange sighting in just 4 weeks or so. Last night (Thursday 24 June) at 23.45 my husband called me and my daughter to see a completely silent very bright white light pass across the sky, certainly below the normal flight altitudes. We all watched it for about 4 minutes travelling from the southwest to an easterly direction. My daughter watched it from upstairs through a pair of binoculars, so was able to describe it in far more detail than my husband and I who just saw a completely white, bright light.

It travelled steadily and horizontally and she described to us the way it appeared to change as it passed by. Initially it was a very bright white light, almost like the headlight of a plane, with what appeared to her to be a dark rectangular shape behind it, (slightly darker than the sky colour). She then says it seemed to become a “sombrero” hat shape, i.e. a dome of light above an elongated dish shape, curving up at either end. She cannot say whether these two shapes were separate from each other, or “attached”.

Next it seemed to become more of an oval cigar shape, and as it passed away from her she described the rear view as being a cluster of bright white lights. My husband continued watching, and about 40-45 minutes later (approximately 00.30 a.m. he saw a similar object taking the same route. Again he observed just a very bright light, completely silent. We had watched several aircraft that night, so can discount those.

Flash Then Bright Orange Light Over Mickleover Derby Derbyshire U.K.

Date: June 11, 2010
Time: 10:20 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Mickleover, Derby, Derbyshire, U.K.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Appeared like a star.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Having submitted our first ever report back in May. I looked up at the sky now whenever I can, and tonight I first noticed a bright white flash high up in the clouds, and called my husband quickly. A few seconds later he pointed out to me, an extremely bright orange object in the eastern sky, a lot lower than where I had seen the flash, moving horizontally, steadily and silently towards the south southeast. I followed this with his binoculars and it was not a plane (no flashing lights) and we both doubt whether it was a Chinese lantern.

It was very similar to what we had seen back in May, but travelling in the opposite direction. It was impossible to make out any shape, other than a very bright star like one. It seemed to keep below the cloud level. (I thought it may have been descending slightly, but my husband thinks it was maintaining a horizontal path). I have no idea whether the initial white flash was anything to do with this orange sighting. Surely other people would have seen this very bright orange light too as it was clearly visible in the sky?

Scientist Observes 5 Lights Over Baffled Derby UK

Date: June 5, 2010
Time: Between 8:00 - 9:00 p.m.

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.

Bright Orangey Yellow Object Over Mickleover Derby Derbyshire UK


Date: May 22, 2010
Time: After 9:30 p.m.

Dear Sirs, I have sent one or two reports to various UFO sites this weekend following a strange sighting on Saturday evening 22 May. This is the first time in many years my husband and I have ever
seen anything out of the ordinary, and we can find no explanation for it.

We were both sitting outside on Saturday night, 22 May, in the warmth, and just after 9.30 p.m. (at Mickleover, Derby, Derbyshire), my husband said he thought there was something on fire in the sky. We watched as this bright orangey/yellow object travelled steadily upwards (almost on one of the usual flight paths) on a roughly NNW course. We rushed to get the binoculars and could see that it was not a normal plane (no flashing lights), nor a helicopter, and thought it may be a hot air balloon, but discounted this as we could see no burner, and it was too high up for a balloon. The orangey/yellow light source(s) seemed to be from below the object, but we couldn't make out an exact shape.

The light(s) seemed to be "twinkling" rather, and at one stage we thought we could see rays of light radiating out from the right hand side in a fan shape. We also thought we could distinguish a faint dark shape above the light source, almost like the shape of a tall drinks can, but it was difficult to see exactly as the object was moving fairly quickly steadily upwards at about a 45 degree angle - we would say the speed was less than that of a jet aircraft as we had time to go and fetch the binoculars from upstairs.

As we watched it made a smooth turn more to the West, probably about a 60 degree turn, ascending steadily, upwards, then it seemed to disappear, presumably into cloud, quite suddenly.

It is hard to describe the shape of the object as all we could see most of the time was this very bright light source, which could have been made up of a number of "lights", pointing downwards, it seemed. There was no noise whatsoever, and no other aircraft nearby. I did think I saw another bright orange glow near where the object disappeared, but I can't be certain as this may have been a planet or star.

I did not realize until this weekend that there have been so many sightings of orange/yellow objects as it is something neither of us have investigated until now, but it does make us question what we have seen. Hope this is useful and perhaps other people may be able to corroborate or add to what we have seen? As far as we know we can discount those Chinese lanterns as it seems impossible they could make such a controlled ascent.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
