Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Totaly black sphere with a dull red softlly glowing line running horizontally though the middle. In the red line was an area a little brighter red moveing along that line . Apart from the bull red line the only reason I noticed it is that it passed between me and the city lights . It made no sound at all.

Size of Object(s)

It was 8or9cm between my fingers ,it looked to be the same size as the power poles.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

About 2 to 300meters away traveling just above the power poles

Description of Area / Surroundings

I was at the back of my goods train (Guard) we were stopped at the signal .The train was round a bend under a road overpass and my guardsvan was in a rural area outside city lights.

Full Description & Details

We had stopped at the signal waiting to pull into the station yard. After a time I opened the guardsvan door and leaned out to see if anyone was comeing to turn us into the yard. The shunting yard lights were on and the city lights behind those. I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye . To my far left was a taint red glow. I looked back to the yard for a minute or so then turned to the left again. There it was. I must admit I did give my head a good shake. It was moveing very slowly. I had time to have a good look and compare its size to the surrounding. So there you go.

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

no

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I thought that there were UFOs . Being a shift worker at night and away from town lights you see lots of satilites and plain lights that dont move like they should but seeing this sealed the deal.
