Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The triangle was dark with orange circular lights at each point. The forward light wobbled slightly. It was silent.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size was about the size of my hand stretched out, about 4 inches. I guess each side would be 50 yards. Each light would be the size of a penny held outstretched.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Difficult but 2000 feet

Description of Area / Surroundings

Droitwich Spa is a market town surrounded by a rural environment. To the north about 20 miles lies the city of Birmingham. To the south is Worcester about 5 miles. When I first saw the object it would have flown over the BBC transmitters at Wychbold.

Full Description & Details

At about 2330 on the evening on Thursday 18th October 2001 I arrived home after an evening with friends. Parking the car about 200 yards away from my house I started walking. There was patchy cloud and stars were visable. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed to the north east a fast moving object. Looking up I expected to see a meteor. However, what I saw was a triangular shaped object with an orange circular light at each tip of the object. The size of the lights would be like holding a penny at arms length. The leading orange light seemed to have a slight wobble to it. The object passed below cloud level and over my head. What amazed me at first was the speed it was going. From my initial sighting to the North East to the object going out of view to the south west towards Malvern was about five seconds. I then realised that it was totally silent. That was the moment I felt scared.

I can only guess at the size but each side of the triangle would be about 50 yards

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

It was moving so not a planet or star etc. It was big so not a meteor. Man made objects to my knowledge do not go that fast and if they did surely they would make a noise. I have seen blimps at night and they do not go that fast. Neither do weather balloons. I am a birder with 30 years field experience no bird can do that

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was intested in UFOs in my youth, but had become a sceptic due to the fact that there was so many people with video cameras and no real proof. I also became bored at looking at dots in photos that were claimed to be something. At the time of the sighting my interest was close to zero.
