Nottingham (UK/England) · United Kingdom
Time is approximate and is GMT. It was night time and the sky was dark. I was travelling in a car with 2 others, my friend (the driver) and my partner who was in the back seat. I was in the front passenger seat (left seat in English car, and also driving on left side of the motorway). We had been to see Nightwish at the Birmingham Arena, so the date is accurate. The time is approximate. We were driving home north from Birmingham up the M1. The location would have been close to the west of Leicester or Nottingham. I could see a city to the east of the road, but uncertain which one it was. They're not that far apart anyway. I saw a red light in the sky fairly low down, but above tree height. Height is difficult to guess as we were moving. It looked like a large star. I thought it unusual, but I initially thought maybe it was Mars. It began pulating and appeared to grow larger. A broad red beam emerged downwards from the pulating light. The beam had well defined edges, but the strange thing was that the beam did not fade out at the bottom, but had a well-defined flat bottom edge. Just then we passed a row of trees on the left side of the road blocking my view of it. When the car had passed the row of trees the light and beam had gone. I did not tell either of the others what I’d seen at the time, although I told my partner later on. He had not seen it . Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

17 lights, spaced fairly evenly apart, all travelling on the same trajectory. There may have been more, I counted 17 from noticing the first one. Brought the wife outside to witness as well. All 17 continued ins straight line, at a steady pace until they disappeared in the distance. As the last one was crossing the sky, a shooting star came over in the opposite direction. Very odd, could have been military aircraft, but 17 is quite a lot. We’re there any large scale military manoeuvres over the UK at this time?

Smethwick, BIRMINGH · United Kingdom
White rounds dots in the sky first thought it was a shooting star, then 5 more round lights passed in the same direction from right to left traveling at down ward angle with the same distance between the lights maybe 10 meters apart from each other I'm not sure. The lights were moving faster then areoplanes that's why I thought it was a shooting star first. There was a smaller round light that was a orange colour that was still and it seemed like it was watching/ waiting for the other lights to pass it by I thought it was a small star first but when the last light flew past it the orange light followed the same path as the others except it was higher up.

Initially I thought I was witnessing a fast-moving shooting-star, until it did an abrupt 180 degree turn. It was moving at crazy speeds, variable and able to change direction like a firefly. I've never, ever witnessed such a thing, and was able to record raw phone video for 12 minutes. I contacted the police. I cannot get over what I saw.

Plymouth (UK/England) · United Kingdom
Was a blue sky early morning in Plymouth/UK at 5.21am. I walk with my friend each morning, so on my way to hers, I saw a huge smoke trail, first going along the sky line, then down my eye followed the trail to then see a jet black huge cigar hurtling towards the ground. I expected a boom or crash, but nothing after it went out of sight. I initially thought maybe missile testing, but I would estimate this craft to be at least 5 times the size of a plane. No lights on it just jet black, although it did seem to pulse a touch, and look darker and more prominent every 2 or 3 seconds. I then got told to look at the Daily Mirror online as something similar had been seen in Alaska. I looked and it wasn't just similar, that is, an exact replica of what I saw, and the smoke trail identical.

HI thanks for letting me join the group I feel I saw a UFO last night ,as this bright light was NOT a aircraft. I tried to take a video and photos but it was hard. I let my dog out for a wee and was looking up to see what star constellation was above when it looked like one of the stars was moving, I rush indoors to get my camera, went back to the same spot and the light was still there so started videoing it as it was going from my right to my left I had a clear shoots of it, ,there was no sound no other lights flashing then it got to my left and then just went like the Bright light was turned off . was do have a few air craft fly over our area so I know they make a sound and have tail light and they do not vanish, it was traveling from NNW to wsw at 21.45 31/03/2019 uk Glastonbury.

I went out in my garden for a cigarette around 8:00pm, at 8:05pm i noticed something, like it almost dropped slowly out of the sky, kind of like a bright star. It was far to low to be a plane, and far to bright to be a drone! It started moving, quite slowly across the sky, that's when I got phone out and started to record, it went out of my sight, so I then rang my parents who live about a 5 minute car journey away, to see if they could see it, which they could! My Father got his camera out with a really good zoom and said that it was two "things" next to each other. He sent me the pictures, which I have on my phone, plus the recording I have. Not the greatest of quality video but good enough. I have told a few people but everyone thinks I'm mad. Then 4 years later, I stumble upon this website. Cheers

I was driving home from College where i work, glanced something from my right side of vision, a house sized craft hovering 100 meters away,metallic grey and had large green lights,This was just like a mettallic grey colour and just hovered in a field about 40 feet from the ground,.I saw 3 large lights at the front of the craft and shape wise this object was slim profile at the front increasing in size. This was to my right and slightly behind me ,I looked a way for about 5 seconds to concentrate on the moving traffic ahead of me,i looked again, nothing had changed. i watched it again for 4 seconds and it dissapeared ,like into thin air My iphone was zipped in my Bag so just did not have time to take photos. Usually my Colleage teacher travels with me but not on this day. I wish i had been further back down the Motorway heading towards it and had my camera handy , but i dont know if the photos would have shown anything, I can only describe what i observed ,and was a futuristic space craft designed for speed and something you would expect out of the sci fi movies, I clearly saw this twice and could not believe no one of the travelling hundreds of motorists did not see and report it. I told my family and some friends and the staff at College but sensed they did not believe me. It never bothered me,but i feel the need to log this. I

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.

Keswick, CUMBRIA · United Kingdom
Clear sunny january day, sat outside caravan on campsite about five miles outside keswick, when we noticed a glowing ball in the sky ahead of us, travelling in a straight line then changing direction at both right angles and obtuse angles leaving what looked like a vapour trail behind it. Not a chance this was any craft built by humans given the speed and immediate angular directional changes. Observed for around ten minutes until it just disappeared leaving the angular trails in the sky. No images were recorded as we were mesmerized with the movement of the object.

Stationary bright round UAP that quickly increased in light intensity. Then quickly went dark. A few seconds later it lit up again for roughly 30 seconds then disappeared. The UAP did not move. A minute later, I heard a plane approaching.

Bright light appeared. We thought it was an aeroplane but because it was so bright and moved so fast we knew it couldn’t be. It then disappeared.

Stirling (UK/Scotland) · United Kingdom
I was out early morning on Christmas Eve. I walked down to the fence of the Lade and i had turned back as the gate stopped me from going further. As i turned back i seen a glowing object in the sky being so early in the morning i wouldn't think anyone was playing with a drone being the holidays also. When i took out my phone to look i was able to zoom in and see past its bright white lights it was a circle shaped floating object that appeared to be spinning quickly and it had strange markings on its face. To make sure i took pictures of the moon and the object for comparison so know one could say its the moon to this day i don't know what it is but i don't know it wasn't a chinese lantern or a plane it was something else.

Barnstaple (UK/England) · United Kingdom
I was in town Christmas shopping and was just taking a picture of the Christmas lights, I noticed the blue looking object above and watched. It was there for about five minutes, until it disappeared behind some clouds. Once I got home, I focused more on the unusual looking object and if you look closely you can actual see a proper shape and what looks like blue lights coming out of the side. This image has not been tampered with I give you my word, I’m a firm believer and hate photoshop bs! Let me know what you think! It looked like a triangular shape with bright blue beams. It was too high up to be any lights and definitely isn’t a plane.
