Full Description & Details

At 2012 new year's eve, between 23:59 and 00:05, my husband and I were recording a video for our family. We live at Wood Green, London, and there's a Palace near of our home, it's called Alexandra Palace and we were pointing towards a orange light in the sky that we thought it was the anthem of the Palace.

But then we realized that it was not the direction of the Palace and we payed attention to the light and it started to move, to rise further to the sky. The light was not flickering and it didn't make a sound, it changed the direction towards us and flew above our heads, not near of us, but not too distant, still NO sound, and the velocity was something amazing. I have to say that, the velocity was NOT normal, and left us totally speechless, and I couldn't just stand there recording the hole thing...

When the light was reaching the point that wasn't above us anymore, it flickered and we saw a big round orange shape around the point of that orange light. My husband saw a cross in the middle of the thing, but I didn't. And then it just moved until we couldn't see no more.

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

No. The velocity and absence of sound was not normal.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before: didn't believe or disbelieved. After: there's something out there and we would like to know if more people saw what we saw. Before I didn't read about UFOs because I thought it was a waste of time.
