Location of Sighting: Strood, Medway, Kent.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: Approx: 6
Shape of Objects: Spherical.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Last night at around 22:40 in
Strood, Medway, Kent, myself and a friend witnessed a bright orange
light in the sky with a very faint white halo around the outside which
appeared to rotate. It approached from the west at approximately 1000
feet high and possibly 1 mile away. It was moving in an arc towards
the south, totally silent and in no way a helicopter or plane or anything
identifiable.
Its speed was a steady pace similar to that of a helicopter given
the same height etc. It then slowed to a stop, hovered, reversed and
then began moving away back towards the west. Then another appeared
over the roof tops following a similar course and then another and
all were identical in appearance, speed, height etc. As all three
moved away out of sight, another appeared and then another and another
and again all behaving in a similar fashion over a period of approximately
5-10 minutes.
Its worth noting that the wind direction was opposite to that of the
lights and so I can rule out with total confidence Chinese lanterns
or hot air balloons, and besides having seen both before, I would
of recognized them as such and these lights were definitely driven
by their own power and with purpose. This was a warm night and many
people would of been out in their gardens etc., and so this must of
been witnessed by many others. I have researched the internet and
found lots of other accounts similar to mine and most notably the
same night following a Google search for "UFO Kent 5th June 2010".
