Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The first object was an "object" the size of a thumb at arms length. My dad didn't say what shape it was as it was moving fast. It was pitch black against the grey sky. The second object was a triangle shape.

Size of Object(s)

The first object - the size of a thumb at arms length. The second - probably a bit smaller than the nail of your little finger at arms length

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

first object - low (a few thousand feet?). The second object - high altitude

Description of Area / Surroundings

An urban area - but not heavily built up like a city. My surroundings are lots of bungalows. There was a small amount of light pollution from the street lights and channel tunnel but not enough to block out the stars as it can sometimes do.

Full Description & Details

My parents were outside relaxing after work. At around 11pm I went out to join them before going to bed and my Dad said he has just seen a pitch black object darker than anything else around that night, about the size of an adult thumb at arms length, move across the sky. He said it moved fast and he only saw it for 5 seconds or maybe a couple more. It moved without making a noise across the greyish background of the sky obscuring and blocking out stars and everything as it went. He described it as "In star trek talk - something under a cloaking device". After a few minutes both of my parents and I saw something else. I'm not sure if it was related so am mentioning it too. This object was a triangle of red lights with another light which flashed reasonably quickly moving from where my dad said the first object went back over us again. I couldnt hear anything - assume it was at high altitude. It wasn't the usual red and white lights with obvious plane shape that we see every day - it looked different. It took a couple of minutes to travel across the portion of the sky that was visible - longer than the other planes that were going over. It may have been a military plane or something related to the other sighting - i'm not sure.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

The second one could have been a military plane but it made no sound and wasn't an obvious plane shape - plus it was moving slow compared to other planes. The first object I can't explain - I don't know of anything that can be pitch black against a grey sky, move quickly without making a sound and obscure everything including stars as it goes.

Witness Background

I'm a 21 year old student studying in the electronics department of a local university. My parents own their own shop.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I like watching UFO documentaries on TV occasionally and am interested in the unknown. I used to be into them more a few years ago than I am now but still have an interest.
