Just looking out of the window, the wife asked what a red flickering light was. At first I thought it was just the lights of a plane at high altitude but I'd say it was moving too slow. The flickering looked a bit like the flame of a hot air balloon but it was a lot higher than I'd like to be in a wicker basket.

Any ideas? Sunspots on Uranus?

 

Have you gots spots on Uranus? And do they glow red at night?

 

Space shuttle launching anyone ?

dunx

 

That would've been cool but the Shuttle launch was postponed due to a hydrogen leak.

 

Chinese lanterns, thats what all of the recent activity is being attributed too. lol


Believe it if you want

Alien visitors dropping of Pete birthday prezzie early they just obviously had the wrong area, I suppose UFO sat navs are a little tricky to co ordinate

 

i saw an object in the sky a couple of weeks ago, it was orange and flickering for around 2 or 3mins then it went out/dissapeared. clear night and it was very high up

 

Chinese sky lanterns :

 

Ive seen a few of these laterns recently. Not sure whats the deal with them.

 

Basically you light them, then they float up into the sky.

 

i nearly crashed the car because of those chinese lanterns

 

There are still hardly any sunspots these days!

Saw one of these lanterns last night. Very cool!

 

On the subject of UFO's a friend on mine took this photo of Vulcan 558 over the weekend.
The general opinion is that the object in the photo is the space station although someone further north took a photo with a simliar object in it. Any thoughts?

did anyone see this when it was in the paper last year, no explanation followed. i laughed it off myself but it was only when recently i got close up to one and realised the sheer scale of these things and the forces involved to do this amount of damage that got me thinking..........THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE...UFO sightings over Lincolnshire excite UFO experts after a wind turbine on a wind farm was damaged in Conisholme | Aliens | The Sun |News|UFOs

 

It certainly hit something substantial alright, unless it was a fatigue break up of the blades.

Les

 

Didn't the company explain that it was metal fatigue in the bolts that hold the blades on and the other blades were damaged by the broken one hitting them?

 

never heard that myself, but it does sound possible. also a bit of a relief tbh. all we need is that s.netter SPOOKY MULDER to give us a bit of summing up. lol.

 

so did we, about 6 of us saw constantly-on orange lights appearing to rise vertically 1 at a time about 10secs behind each other, 5 or 6 of them, some then turned sharp left, some sharp right from their vertical position, although seemed to go very high before turning, they flickered and disappeared, not unusually fast though. we were in monkstone in pembrokeshire looking east and toward the coast. we saw them at the beginning of may. we thought maybe aircraft from RAF st athan or maybe from cardiff airport as they looked very far away.
