Full Description & Details

I had just put the children to bed and it was around 9.30 on this Saturday evening. I just happened to look out of my bedroom window which overlooks the street. I happened to look up and see 2 amber lights, equal in size and travelling at the same speed together. They reached a point in the sky and came to a stop, then just seemed to disappear as if going upwards. Once these had disappeared I then noticed 2 more amber lights again come over the rooftops and climb to the same point in the sky and again slowly disappear. That this point I then went out into the street and saw my neighbour who had spotted them as well when taking his dog for a walk, he first thought they may have been microlites and I thought they may have been balloons on a night flight. As we spoke a further 3 amber lights, travelling together came from over the rooftops, got to the same point in the sky (level with the moon) and disappeared.

I did some research on the internet and thought that they may have been sky lanterns, which are left off at Asian weddings, but since that date an article came out in my local paper saying that some other residents in my area had also seen these lights and that the local UFO expert had said that they were most probably UFOs.

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

My neighbour first thought they may have been microlites and I thought they may have been balloons on a night flight, but the gas in a balloon wouldn't stay lit for that length of time. So other than that I have no explanation.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was always sceptical about UFOs, but after seeing these lights I think differently.
