Light over Durham (UK/England) · United Kingdom

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Having a cigarette outside, watching the sky… I saw a red light in the eastern sky, between 4 to 5 thousand feet. After a minute, the light started moving slowly closer the light stopped I took some photographs on my phone after few minutes the light went quickly back the way it came then disappeared into the clouds there was no sound...when I came into the house & looked at the photos I noticed the colour was different in each picture...I could only see the different colours on my phone.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134575). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
