"We was sitting in the garden when I saw a light flashing in the sky. I try to show everyone but it was so far away they couldn't see it. With everyone struggling to get sight on it I decide to try and record it so I could show them, and that is when we saw the other lights streaming across the sky.

"They was going so fast that I couldn't see them with the naked eye."

"I was watching it approximately between 2.30pm and 3.30pm, it was dark but this object that came out of nowhere looked slightly cloaked, it tried to hail the hiss but im not sure of response. "After about 10 mins of observations this UFO released a golden orb to which moved at unbelievable maneuvering capabilities, after about another 20 minutes 3 more ships came into view but these where of total different design (long white cylinder shaped ships) like those of project solar warden.

"This incident was really un natural and I believe I have witnessed."

"I was in the kitchen, having a drink (approx 3.30am) looking out from the kitchen window. I noticed a very bright white light (almost tear drop shaped) in the sky which appeared low and quite close, I opened the window to see if I could hear anything (rule out helicopter) and there was no noise, certainly wasn't a plane, nothing I could think of fitted its description.

"Then the light/object just dropped at very high speed at angle behind the house at the back of my garden. This all happened in about 5-10 seconds.

"It almost left a tail in its wake where it moved so quickly. I was gobsmacked (never seen anything like it before) and kept trying to move my head to see if it was my eyes catching a light (it definitely wasn't)."
