Four Rows Of Lights Flying Low Across Road
Date: September 23, 2005 Location: Leamington Spa, United Kingdom
Sighting Time: 21:30 Day/Night: Nighttime Duration: 2mins No. of Witnesses: 2+
Witness Report: I was driving home with my girlfriend from Shipston-on-Stour to Wellesbourne, we passed Halford onto a straight bit of road with a car in front and two behind. I noticed two red lights one slightly higher than the other behind the top of the tree line. These lights were not flashing and seemed to be going at some speed in the distance. I said to my girlfriend that they looked strange and could be fighter jets!
The lights then came from behind the tree line and I realized that the lights were extremely close and flying low across the road ahead. I told my girlfriend it can’t be jets but maybe a helicopter! There was a black outline to the lights but I could not quite make it out.
They traveled to the field on our right where the object angled revealing 4 equal-spaced rows of lights leading to a central bright white prismed light, it seemed to slow and rotate slightly across the field. As I was driving with cars ahead and behind I couldn’t just stop, I did turn around but it had disappeared by the time I got back.
This was a fantastic sight which excited me and scared the crap out of me at the same time. It was so close and clear I just wish I had a camera. this is something I can’t explain and It would be great if anyone else saw anything similar on the same night!?
I’ve attached an artistic impression of what I saw that night to give you a better idea of what I’m trying to explain. Cheers, Craig. Note the above image is a rendering.
