Light over Spital (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking south west from spital. Probably same height as commercial aircraft (Know this because a commercial aircraft passed through roughly the same airspace 10 mins after the sighting. Three red balls of light in a horizontal configuration, hovering, no visible movement, silent with no engine noise. Then each ball shot upward with incredible speed with a gap of about 5 seconds between each ball.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141587). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
