Light over Ashford, KENT · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
- Several light dots dancing above near Ashford International Railway Station - I was too nervous and tired. Therefore, I shut the curtain and buried myself in bed after taking the video. - My colleague living in the same town heard some strange sound from outside at about 00:00 (He didn't look out to see what it is). I didn't hear any strange sound. - There were also many birds flying in the sky at the time of sighting. Under normal situation most of those birds fly during daytime. But those birds won't emit light!
