Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Calling these lights 'Objects' could be a bit presumptuous as I did not see any phyical mass apart from the lights. They were two round lights that were a yellow-orange colour. They had an unusual glow that was brighter than a star, but not intense like an aeroplanes lights.

Size of Object(s)

They would have been not much bigger than a family car. They were approx 10metres apart.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Distance- less than10km. Altitude approx 1km.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I was in an urban area but the lights were out over a lake

Full Description & Details

It was approx 0430hrs and I was on a quiet urban street. It was a very still morning with no sound or wind. There was a low cloud cover so there were no stars visible at the time.

As I was walking north along the street a movement of light caught my atention in the right hand corner of my eye. My initial thought was 'A shooting star!' as it was moving extremely fast across the sky. Within a split second I realised this could not be as: A) The low cloud cover blocked all view of the stars. B) The lights didn't burn out but kept a constant bright ness and a steady course across the sky. C) There were two lights seemingly 'dancing' around each other as they sped across the sky.

The lights were visible just above the roof tops of the houses across the street from where I was and as they went out of sight behind the neighbours trees I had to run back down the street so I clould get a better view and watch them longer. They disappeared from view after about 5-10 seconds as they headed north.

I felt very excited after witnessing this as I had never seen anything like it before. It took me a few more seconds to realise that I could not explain what I had just seen.

The way the lights moved and the altitude ruled out any natural phenomenon. My Father was in the airforce and I loved aircraft as a kid so I know that there is no aeroplane that can move that fast and manouvre in such a fashion as these lights 'danced' across the sky. There was also no sound from anywhere on such a still night so an aeroplane would have been audible within the few kilometres distance that these lights were.

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

No
