Full Description & Details

It was late 2001 (can't remember date or which month it was). I was taking the rubbish out to the kerb to be collected next morning. I had just walked out of the front door when I noticed 11 bright orange lights flying in sort of a 'V'- formation. They were moving faster than an aeroplane (and I'm sure they were not jet fighters as there was no sonic boom and it was too late at night for Air Force fighters to be flying). In fact, there was no sound at all. They were also flying at a high altitude.

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

No.

Witness Background

University student. Child care assistant.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before sighting: Did not believe in the possibility of the existence of UFOs. After sighting: Although I still don't believe in the existence of UFOs, I keep an open mind about it and believe that UFOs MAY exist.

Other Comments

There was a story about 11 bright orange lights in the local newspaper the next day, so there are other people who observed the phenomenon, as I did not report the sighting.
