Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The light gave the appearance of a distant lighthouse, it seemed to revolve, like a spotlight. It just looked like a star or satellite at first, before the bright white lights.

Size of Object(s)

it appeared to be the same size as the stars in the constellation at first but when the light was bright it seemed to double in size

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Not sure, I wouldn't like to guess.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It is an urban area, obviously being in London, the light pollution is quite high, but in the immediate area there are a few street lights. No special sites or features in the area.

Full Description & Details

My friend and I were in his back garden at approx 11pm guessing the constellations (niether of us are sure which is which) when my friend said he had seen a bright light appear then fade and disappear in a North Easterly direction. I did not witness the light and said it my have been a shooting star or maybe a satellite.

Approx 2 mins later in a more Northerly direction we both witnessed the same light as my friend had seen before, we think it was in the plough constellation and it was a bright light that over a period of about 5-10 seconds got very bright then faded to the same brightness as a star but was moving out of the constellation in an easterly direction, it soon disappeared.

We thought it may be the shuttle or a satellite reflecting the sun, but we both said we had never seen anything like it before

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

Yes,we think it maybe a satellite or a very high plane, I know military planes fly very high, so maybe this is an explanation

Witness Background

Manual workers,comprehensive (high school) educated

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

We both believed in UFO's before the sighting. We both have seen documentarys about UFO's, but are not learned in the subject
