Several sightings over the period. A bright orb that travelled in a straight line. As a helicopter approached it the orb slowed down and vanished. Helicopter reacted as if pilot was startled. Saw several other orbs, but the main one was half the size.

A diamond shaped orange light. If you held out your hand it would have been the size of a 20p coin. It was totally silent. The object carried on in the distance and then another one appeared and followed the same path.
