Location of Sighting: Portsmouth, England (Southern Coast of
England - Facing English Channel)
Latitude: 50.783 Degrees N
Longitude: 1.083 Degrees W
Number of Witnesses: One

Weather: Clear Skies
Note: The times above may be confusing
to some. Portsmouth, England is 7 hours ahead of local time
(PDT) in my area. All event times are listed in the time zone of the
event, while all report dates are listed in local time (PDT).
Description (in Witness's Own Words): I saw a Gold/orange colored object appeared to be T shaped shooting
across the very clear sky. The moon was full and no clouds were
present. I estimate that it covered 20 miles in 4 to 5 seconds. I
also saw a pair of shield shaped gold/orange objects low flying at a
much slower speed on Thursday or Friday night last week at
approximately 11:00 pm. The first thought I had was that it was a
pair of swans but there were no wings visible and they traveled much
faster than birds on a thermal could. Well that's all I can really
recall. I told my wife and a couple of friends, I have never seen or
expected to see objects in the sky before.
Investigator's Notes: The witness
provided a full concise report. He references the moon so the object
in question could not have been mistaken for the moon. He also
mentions previous sightings a few days before. The "T" shape
is unusual and obviously could be a conventional aircraft.
However, given the witness's report this does not sound like an
aircraft. I cannot identify this sighting.
