CSIGHTING DETAILS
What did the UFO look like, shape/size in relation to terrestrial objects/lights/colour:
Approaching us, it was a large bright orange light (NO FLASHING LIGHTS AS CAN BE SEEN ON AEROPLANE), as it came closer, I thought it had a circular appearance, my partner, Christine thought she saw a cigar shaped object. I estimated that the object was travelling at 4 - 8 thousand feet, and appeared to be 2 or 3 times bigger than our largest aeroplane. Approximately 2 minutes later, a second object appeared with the same light(s), but the second one did not travel as far, and seemed to disappear quickly.
Did the UFO do any strange things like hover and then zoom off quickly:
Three of us (our neighbour) witnessed the first light approach our position, as it came almost overhead, it disappeared gradually, fading as if going into a hazy sky, or travelling directly upwards and away from us.
Any additional comments:
The second sighting didn't last as long, maybe only 1 min, 1.5 minutes, but disappeared almost immediately. We had a camera ready, but Christine said that it 'jumped' about a bit before she could take a photograph.
