Hi Brian, regarding your orange objects seen over Heathrow on 27
June 2010. Strangely, a month before this date, at about 11:00 p.m. on 2 May
2010 I saw three very bright orange lights in the sky. These were initially in
line east - west.
I saw these from Devizes Wiltshire which is a little to the west
of Heathrow from a pilot's point of view. After 2 minutes they suddenly started
moving in differing directions across the sky. Like your sighting I used a
small telescope to try to see some structure from the one that moved nearest my
location, but it looked like a really bright star or planet.
No flicker and none of them were moving with the wind which was
wnw 8mph. I know that because I had been paragliding that evening.
I put the sighting on a UFO sighting site and someone in West
London excitedly reported he had seen orange objects moving across the sky
toward the west (i.e. toward Heathrow Airport).
I am an ex-pilot (not professional) and sky watcher of decades but
I can say I have never seen anything like what I saw that night. Nor can I work
out what they were. My feeling was that they were very high in our atmosphere
but there was no cloud to help discern their altitude. They could have been
2000 feet or 200,000 feet high.
When these orange 'Venuses' were stationary and my thought was
military flares because we live near Salisbury Plain mod danger area and see
these lots. But when they started to move in different directions I realized
they were nothing 'normal' up in the starry sky.
Although I have seen some things in the sky over the years that I
cannot identify as 'normal' sky phenomena or human vehicles, these orange
objects have had a most profound effect on me. When I watched them move apart
across the sky I knew I was seeing something really strange. But other people
seem to find it easy to dismiss what I have seen as normal.
They say it must have been something natural or human. I know
pretty much everything that is up 'there' and I ask them to give me an
explanation. They cannot but remain sure they have a prosaic explanation. But
truly, what I saw was profoundly unusual.
Another Heathrow event that happened a couple of years back has
also made me feel we are seeing phenomena that we should be trying to
scientifically understand. Because these things are in the sky on a regular
basis challenging our view of what reality is. I was en-route on the motorway
to somewhere else and I stopped in at Heathrow to try out a new camera. (I used
to live nearer the airport and have a affection for the place.)
Moving aircraft on short finals give great testing conditions for
cameras. I took a number of photos of jets crossing the hedge of 27R on a
sharp, sunny day. We could see everything in the sky very clearly, in fact we
noticed how many aircraft were going east-west at mid and high altitudes over
the airport on N9 airway. We could see easy jet orange 737s at 20,000 feet
descending into Bristol, it was that clear.
But we didn't see the UFO that I noticed on one of the photos a
day later. I had taken a photo of a Fokker 100 jetliner and high up, in the
background is an object shaped like a dark grey cigar with a semi pointed end.
I thought it might be a bin-bag balloon but the temperatures were too low for
such a sun-heated black bin bag balloon to work.
What is odd is that the sun was in the south or south-west and
this object is sideways to the sun. The sun should have high lighted its side
up but this isn't how it looks. It looks
grey and slightly faint as though it is not completely there. I found another
object with these strange semi-real lighting characteristics in a paragliding
photograph. Both objects, while shaped differently, look very far away which
would make them huge but would explain the lack of clarity. I could email you
the photos if it interested you.
Hope this is of interest.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
