Romford, Essex-30th May 2009
Location of Sighting: Romford, Essex
Date of Sighting: 30th May 2009
Time: 10:50pm
Witness Name: James Hassell
Witness Statement: I saw the anomaly, much like a flaming orange ball travelling North to South initally, at an estimated 5-10,000 ft. It was travelling about 2 or 3 times faster than a plane with no noise, i thought it was an asteroid initially. However, it seemed to slow down and then travel in a West direction rapidly increasing in speed and altitude, travelling roughly 5 times the speed of a plane. The whole experience lasted about 1m 30 secs. Both my partner and I witnessed it and have never seen anything like it before.

I saw something very similar last night, except there was 2 of them.
It looked like a ball of fire surrounded by what looked like an oval, with a tail of light behind it.
One was travelling accross the sky, with a second following closely.

at approx 20:00 on this date me and my girlfriend were walking near home when we spotted 3 orange lights flying thorugh the air over Rayleigh. 2 together and 1 further behind. They were silent, and travelling very fast (although little wind).
They appeared to stop moving for approx 1 min before contiuing on out of sight. I did manage to grab some binoculars from home and caught a glimpse of one before it disapeared from view and it looked oval, fairly large considering how far away it was, dark coloured with a golf ball texture and the light of central/lower on object. Im thinking laterns of something for new year but they must be pretty big as it looked huge at one point (like bigger than a house). Never seen anything loike it before but as I googled it to see if anyone had an answer, I see others in this area have also seen similar objects before. Strange (but exciting I guess)!!!

monday 28 dec @ around 10pm
i live in collier row near bedfords park
i had just watched doctor who on sky and was walking down the garden to my studio, i as always looked up to the sky and and saw a orange ball with flames coming out of the back
having parachuted in the past i know it was about 5000ft
it was silent and moving about the speed of a light plane towards hainault, i called my wife out who saw the end of it before it went into the clouds, i assumed a hot air ballon because of the flames but it traveled in a straight line and it was a windy night,
i decided to look it up today on google and saw the top report.
its a ufo until its identified, not expecting a visit from the doctor just yet
