A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
upon leaving my flat and walking over to my mum's house It was dark and I had just almost got to her door when my attention was drawn to a particularly suspicious prominent looking bright light/s in the night sky less than half a mile away i stood and watched it and strangely it didn't appear to be moving. it must have been about 900-1,000 feet above the ground then I noticed that there was a second light that was round and as big next to it and(the first light was now round as well)the lights on the craft where still pretty bright it then decided to move and went in a different direction somewhat quicker but not very fast or rapidly there where two lights on it that looked to be on either side of the craft both going on/off(i.e they where not on at the same time as each other)as it moved along heading in one direction somewhat faster a light on it flickered/flashed like a star or torch light on/off on/off i.e on one second and then off the next it then d! issappeared out of my line of vision and I could'nt see it any longer.

whilst sat eating food from a barbeque in the garden in front/next to my brother and his wife's home on saturday night i said/blurted more than once to my brother his wife and there three friends"whatever are those lights in the sky????"observing two strange colourful blue/purple lighted craft in the sky that had passed overhead seconds before flying side by side but some distance apart(about 13 feet apart)from each other moving at a moderate not fast speed at an altitude of around 800-1,000 feet towards the town of alton.a person i.e friend of my brothers alerted by my remark had noticed the lighted crafts also and walked across the garden to observe them see what they where using his phone's camera i did the same and followed him thinking i wood be able to capture these two beautiful lighted craft on my phone's camera also but to no avail the two craft did'nt seem in any hurry as they were visable and could be seen for around another 2 minutes there colour! altered the first craft particularly it also dropped down abit from being level with the other craft that was next to it.my brother wife's a very short time later said that they were stars which they clearly were not.....neither where they helicopters or similar or lights from other normal recognisable aircraft that i saw flying in different directions an altitudes that night i have never seen two craft with almost beaming like lights on them like these before and to not hear any sounds/noise from crafts that were'nt far up at all during the time i saw them adds to the mystery another interesting point is that these objects where close to a location place of an even stranger encounter where i observed and filmed a moving cream/pure white coloured pulsating ball into cream/pure white disc/saucer craft 19 years earlier in late June 2002...the footage is exceptional and treasured by me even now....
