Location of Sighting: Chesterfield
Date of Sighting: 12/01/2012
Time: 21:20
Witness Name: John Batteson
Witness Statement: I was sat at the back of the house when I noticed a bright spot of light in the sky, which tracked from NNE to SSW in direction. The light appeared to be orange yellow in colour and was spherical. It moved silently and took about 20 seconds to cross the sky. Obviously the difference between on objects perceived speed and its actual speed depends on altitude, but it seemed safe to rule out jets or helicopters as to move across this distance it would have been audible. My first thought was that it was the Russian Chinese satellite burning up on re-entry (Although there was no suggestion of a debris trail).
The objects direction of travel was NNW to SSE. On reflection and a bit of research I dont see how it could have been Jupiter either… Any Ideas?
