Orange Red Discs Observed Toward
Middlesbrough/Corus, UK

Date: August 18, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, I'm currently working round Redcar and Cleveland borough (I live in Derbyshire) and am staying in digs at Redcar.

On Wednesday night of this week I'd been to the shop at approx: 21:30, give or take 15 minutes and on returning to the B&B found my landlord on the front porch (facing toward Middlesbrough/Corus) looking at lights that sound similar to others sightings. He said he'd seen 4 or 5 go over and I myself saw one go over, then another one appear from the horizon and proceeded to fly overhead. At first it looked like a Chinese lantern, but this idea was soon rejected.

From below they looked like a round orangey/red disc, but with a wide angle light shining from the front (verified by the fact that the light disappeared once they had gone overhead). There were no flashing lights, or beacons, and the movements were very strange. They seemed quite quick, but rather than a totally linear trajectory seemed to stall, move sideways and then carry on overhead - the strange thing about the sideways movement was that there seemed to be no change in direction of the forward facing light.

When directly overhead there was a very quiet noise similar to a jet engine, but quieter than expected, as they were obviously not at a great altitude due to the cloud cover.

I'm sure there's a simple explanation (or maybe not), but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

Happy hunting.
