Light over Alton Hampshire (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
upon arriving home and getting out of my vehicle my attention was drawn to two stationery circular flashing red lights in the sky a short distance away that where repeatedly flashing on/off these lights where only 1-2 thousand feet of the ground and did'nt appear to moving.about 20 seconds or so later they began to move very slowly in one direction one of the red lights was behind the other and before i lost sight of them it looked like there was a third circular red light next to it which may have been from that craft or possibily a second object/craft.whats even stranger is that a largish part of the sky close to where i had seen these lights was light up for 2-3 seconds by a strange large white flash that i don't believe was lightning.
