Light over Lowestoft, SUFFOLK · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in my back garden and could see 2 dark orange or orange red moving behind the tree close to my garden from right to left. The lights were silent and slow moving. The atmosphere felt unusual. I went indoors to get my phone to take a photo. The lights both faded. The front light descended and faded. The back light disappeared.
