Selefarm, Hertford-22nd January 2013
Location of Sighting: Selefarm, Hertford, Hertfordshire
Date of Sighting: 22/01/2013
Time: 7.36pm
Witness Name: Alan Shambrook
Witness Statement: i was in my garden having a cigarette looking up at the bright half moon in the crisp night admiring the way the moons light was illuminating a small patch of cloud all seemed pretty normal until i spotted this light moving slowly through the cloud at fisrt i thought nothing of it as theres alot of planes that pass over every minute.until at my shock and amazement this object immerged looking like something of science fiction.it had a dazzling outer blue sphere with a piercing red dot centre the outer sphere seemed to be pulsing or almost fluid looking getting brighter and more intense in colour it appeared to be large or only a few miles from my location.it then began to decend at a 45 degree angle from right to left levelling out and moving at a smooth constant speed horizontal across the sky.then it arched up going back round seeming to take the exact same path until it levelled out again and moved from right to left alot faster then just stopped dead in the sky.at this point i thought i was going mad so shouted my partner and children to come look.we all watched as it lay still it then seemed to change shape a little like one side had faded and the red centre disapeared then it slowly sank in the sky returned to its shape and colour then shot upward then slowly sank back to the levell and started to resume the same previous path it then went back in the cloud and then started to decend at a 45 degree angle from right to left across my whole field of vision and disapearing on the horizon.confused and stunned and all left wondering what the hell we had witnessed i managed to capture a photo on my phone but as it was dark the quality wasnt great.

Freaky! I am lost for an explanation but no doubt someone will have one, it doesn’t sound anything like the usual sky lantern, do you think it could have been some sort of plasma, rather than a solid object?

Hi Alan,
You say there are a lot of planes passing over every minute; has anyone else reported this sighting?

I have just witnessed the exact same thing. Other people must have seen it as it was only 5.40pm and it was over the area of the A414 between hertford and welwyn. It was definately no plane and sure it could not be a helicopter because of the way it was suddenly changing direction. At one point it just stopped and the lights went out as if someone flicked a switch, then about a minute later it was back.
I managed to get a video although it is not very good quality.

Hi again,
I have now been informed by my nephew that it is someone with a remote control helicopter/camera. After looking at videos of these I’m pretty sure he’s right.

What happened to the vid., M?

This is a perfect example of why we shouldn’t jump to conclusions; see T Woods excited opening comment, and the original posters reasoned and sensible approach yielding a more earthly answer.

The vid has gone, as has Alan Shambrook by the looks of things.
