I saw something very similar yesterday (30th June 2009) at around 11.50pm flying over Handsworth in Sheffield. The light itself was a very bright orange/yellow and there were smaller flashing lights within it as well. It flew from east to west.
At first I though it was the Police helecopter but the main orange light was many times brighter than anything else I’ve seen flying in the sky and unlike the spotlight on the Police helecopter, this light was not directional.
It moved at a normal speed and wasn’t that high up but it made absolutley no sound at all. I watched it until it was just about out of sight thinking that I’d hear the sound later as you get with jet aircraft but there was nothing. Unlike the other sighting posted I saw no other aircraft around.
