Light over Poole · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Again just went outside with my partner to look at the sky more as we were excited after the previous sighting tonight. Partner spotted yet the same star like object “parked” right by a star (on star app, possibly wrong) called “Gemma” and flew all the way over us (definitely not in our atmosphere) and then got to a star which my app tells me is right by Ursa Minor and lost it at a star called? Polaris.

My partner and I were stood in the front garden having a cigarette, we have seen this thing before so we often look up and watch the stars at night. I think I first spotted it at around 11:30pm it was just below another very bright star in the sky, a star app I have (not sure how accurate) says the star is called Hercules. The star like object was just below it and just as bright but this object was floating off away from the other star mentioned and the one that was floating away did not flash at all. It flew right the way across the sky but slowly, almost like a fish swimming in the ocean, then it slowly faded away. This took about a minute. Then another minute later we spotted it again, I assume the same object just dimmer. It was flying faster this time and more erratic in different directions. It went behind us and stopped just in between two bright stars and just stayed for about 10 seconds then proceeded to fly up then shot back through the sky, so now in front of our house and flying very very far very quickly and then disappeared. This is not the first time I have witnessed this, I feel like I need to start telling someone.

A bright white fire ball, size of a football flew into the kitchen and landed in a plastic carrier bag on the table, immediately disappeared but seemed to cause almost blinding white, sheet lightening.
