I was walking my dog in Brompton Cemetery (Earls Court, London, UK) when I heard a helicopter fly by (I see one almost every time I go there because the cemetery is across the street from a police HQ center). When it passed, I noticed something floating in the sky. At first I thought it was something hanging from the tree...like a bug...because it was very still and there was a tree over my head...but then it started moving from left to right very slowly. I could not tell if it was white or shiny silver....the color seemed to be a mix at times. Could have been changing colors? Or it could have beena reflection due to the sun? I looked down to grab my phone and when I looked up it was gone. I turned my phone on and looked up again and it was there again but looked like it stalled? It either moved very slowly or was not moving at all. I am not sure if I kept losing sight of it because it was bright outside? Took two photos and then I looked at my phone to switch it to video. When I looked back up it was gone and I didn't see it again. Well, I thought I saw it a few minutes later but it was way too far away and in the opposite direction so I might have been imaging it? There were tons of commercial planes flying across the park at the time. I thought the shape was like an oval balloon, but when I zoomed in it kind of looked like something was hanging from it? Reminded me of a jellyfish. There is a second black/translucent object in the zoomed in photo (taken like 5 seconds after the zoomed out one) - I actually did NOT see that one with my naked eye. I only noticed it when I was reviewing photos later. I thought it could be dirt or dust...but am unsure why it wouldn't have shown up in the zoomed out photo as they were taken right after each other. The day was hot, cloudless, and had a slight breeze. The sun was really bright and there were no clouds for orientation, so that could have affected my vision. There were also many planes flying by, which is normal for that area. There were a few crows flying around as well. The objects were much higher than the helicopter, but I am not sure if they were as high as the commercial planes? [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

Ryton on Dunsmore, WARWICKS · United Kingdom
Before a violent thunderstorm. My son 48 years old, and a staunch sceptic, saw his first ufos. (I am 78 and a supporter). A big dark thundercloud was approaching. This made him look. He saw a craft which was spinning, tilting and seemed to have a hole in the middle. He went upstairs to find binoculars. When he returned it had gone. He went upstairs again and then saw 6 or 7 white dots much further away dancing around. He said none were birds or aeroplanes . Did anyone else see them?

I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye high in the sky and saw 2 round objects flashing, one then disappeared behind a cloud, I got a video clip of one, it moved slowly across the sky from east to west, then that too disappeared into cloud.

Kettering, NORTHAMP · United Kingdom
Fireball type circular object hovers in sky, vanishes then reappears. We estimate possibly 6 miles travelled and does so in a few seconds. We have several pictures though all are blurry and unreliable but we have watched this craft over several nights. At one point this craft also lifted up into the clouds and vanished at a high speed.

My husband and I let the dogs out before bed. The sky night was clear. Stars were visible. A single bright light that, from our perspective, resembled a star, being the same size and brightness of those around, was moving southwards in a regular pathway across the sky. The speed was measured yet steady and the trajectory smooth and straight. It had no red lights anywhere and no blinking lights so did not seem to be a plane. There was no sound. As we watched, it faded and was gone. [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Probable]

Crossing the Irish sea from Belfast to Liverpool, BELFAST · United Kingdom
I was looking out to sea from the ship when I saw a shooting star, but then a minute or so later it came back the same route it left in , stopped a short distance from the ship in the sky high up, all I could see was a bright single light. It did two or three short erratic darts across the sky back to the same spot and the shot off across the sky past the front direction the ship was facing. Then about half an hour or so later the same light came back and did the same thing but flew around a bit more into the distance and back, the vanished. The light that was next to me the came on . I then went out onto the deck to see if I could spot anything else. Then strangely something flew past the ship very fast just above the water, as if it was going to dive in, the were no lights that I could see, but I could make out a craft shape even though it was dark there was illumination from the ship lights.

I watched to balls of solid lights fly together and go behind a building I finish recording and 2 seconds later i look up and they are well apart above the building. They were clearly moving very fast as it was very far away. My camera isn’t good quality but they were solid balls of light. Couldn’t be anything that travels in a straight path and it left no trail

It was very dark so I did not see it very well, but I saw a jet black flat pyramid that was hovering but slightly moving left to right as it was staying almost still. I freaked out and ducked under my windowsill, and when I peeked back up it started to move away. It almost looked like it was changing shape but it could have been the change of perspective as it moved away. It was about 15 meters off the ground. It seemed to somehow glow as I should not have been able to see it because of how dark it was, so it was widely luminescent. The next day I woke up on the floor of my living room, and it was a Sunday, so I skipped a day. I didn’t question it as I was very scared and tried to act normal so I did not tell anyone. I don’t know if it abducted me or something but I missed a whole day.

- 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!

Watched orb sphere type object flashing a warm yellow white light in a fairly slow pulsating manner. Hovering for long periods then traveling, witnessed at varying distances firstly very bright near my bedroom window and then it went over the top of the building and I ran to living room where it was much further away and less bright but still behaving similarly

I stood outside my house and noticed two white lights, the size of medium sized stars in the sky. They were travelling along together which at first looked like a low flying glider or plane. Flying from west to east. After a few seconds the lights moved closer together as they continued to travel, and then further apart. They continued doing this when they flew over me, and just before I lost sight of them behind a block of flats one light seemed to be travelling in front of the other. There wasn’t any flashing lights, and no noise. As noted above they didn’t travel in a straight line. They took 20-30 seconds to move from one side of the sky to the other, so were moving at a decent pace.

I thought it was a drone and may have been it was completely silent and moved very fast stopping dead over each block of high rise flats. When it came over the high rise block I was closest to I could see it was a solid circular object with a triangle of green lights around it . It moved extremely fast without building up any speed and was silent . The whole experience lasted a few seconds.
