Yellow lights flying through the sky... 00:10 new years day 2010?

We saw them between midnight and 1 a.m. in the north-west of England, but they were orange. I found out that there was a big party in a nearby village up-wind of us and they had chinese lanterns. However, there's more to this than meets the eye! Check out this link from an article in the Daily Mail about these sightings back in May:

I live in central Scotland and looked out of the bedroom window a few minutes after midnight as people close by were having a big fireworks display, which I could see over the roof-tops. I was looking due north. Yet although the fireworks were brilliant, my eye kept being drawn to the north east, just an (apparently) short distance to the right of the display, on a level with the fireworks (so, low down in the night sky). There was a round orange object pursuing a slightly curved, upwards trajectory, to the right. I also saw another tiny light, like it, but not orange, a bit higher up. It hardly seemed to be moving, though.

No way could the orange light be a Chinese lantern, given the distance it was at, and the speed it was moving at, and the slightly curved trajectory! A Chinese lantern would have ambled slowly upwards (for there was no wind). What I saw had momentum and it was pursuing a course. I thought it could be a satellite. Never in a million years was it anything to do with laser beams! I've seen those. There's no mistaking them!

Located in Southern California, perhaps not far from the Mexico line, San Diego could be the oldest town in California, created in 1769 and if you want to know an area with an enchanting normal splendor and a nice weather, with slight conditions and plenty of sunshine with hotelbye you need to start. In San Diego you are able to visit: museums, gardens, Spanish Colonial type structure present in Balboa Park, the world popular San Diego Zoo, and the Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum. SeaWorld San Diego is among the city's principal attractions, especially for families. It is located along the waterfront in Mission Bay. For a lot of American's SeaWorld has been quite a long time family convention, having been around considering that the 1960s. Among the shows would be the variety of shows offering killer whales, sea lions, dolphins, and different sea life. You will find all sorts of tours from roller coasters crashing in to water, to more sedate carnival type flights for tots. SeaWorld is an aquarium that enables for close-up looks at sharks and different sea animals that may be observed through an acrylic tunnel, along side feel tanks, and close encounters with dolphins and inhabitants of tidal pools.

I saw these objects too. I live on Ladies Estate, Thetford. To the south I saw hundreds of orange lights flying east to west. And above my house several flew above. They were like bright orange flares but flew more like a plane and were silent.. At one point two appeared at once. the one behind caught the one in front up and they both continued heading in a south westerly direction. All these lights seemed to be going in the direction of RAF Lakenheath/Mildenhall. The lights to the south may well be Chinese lanterns but the lights above my house was most certainly not!

Hi there..i saw the same as you have explained but on christmas day around 5/6 ish in Thetford Norfolk at my parents house but only 1 light it was an orange ball i thought it looked like a flame and was moving so quickly across the sky then dissapeared out of sight..i live in Elstree and was searching the sky all the way home but couldnt see anything..then new years eve at midnight i was on the phone to my parents when my dad had noticed another light in the sky and was moving then would stop and go in another direction and lasted aound 6 mins..some people are saying that they are chinese lanterns,but seeing it myself and i dont think they are..i believe its a possible ufo sighting myself the universe is too bigger place for us to be the only life form

i keep looking out at night now to see if i can spot any more..i find it so interesting!

please let me know if you see any more as i live in herts too.

kindest regards hayley

Chinese lanterns. New Years eve/morning and fireworks and lanterns. Before people say they cannot move like that, how many have people watched? The wind moves a different speeds at different heights. I have worked on various tall buildings and masts to witness this.

Consider also the angle at which you observe it and the direction it is going, chuck in the darkness and you have a very confusing object for the human eye and brain to work on. Darkness is not intended for the human eye which works best in the daylight.

i live in the northeastand at 12:10 i seen these lights as well approx 8 small orange lights and a really large 1 which could not have been a chinese lantern it looked like a ball of fire to be fair

Cardiff Wales New Years Eve 12.15 to 12.40 a.m.

Three of us were out the front lighting off fireworks when we saw the same orange lights we saw on Christmas night.

There was a procession of them one after the other about 20 travelling about 300 mph 1000ft agl from east to west approx following the M4 corridor along the south wales coast.

No sounds or flashing lights so most definatley not aircraft and impossible to be Chinese lanterns! Many other people I spoke to today said they saw them and we got it on video and photos. I think I saw the underside of one which flew close by and it appeared flat and circular but i m not sure.

We live in east dunbartonshire, glasgow. we saw 2 big brght lights going at the same speed and direction. the lights where really bright and they looked like they slowed down then faded up into the atmosphere. there was four of us and about 7.45pm. 01/01/2010 there was no way it was fireworks or lanterns. I don't know what they were. But we have never seen any thing like it. my daughter all so noticed on hogmany the moon looked a funny colour and looked like it had a small eclipse.

replies appreciated

I encountered a similar sighting last night right after midnight, although I live in San Diego, Ca, not the UK. I asked a question about it. Two people in a city about 10 miles away spotted the same thing. Similar sightings occurred last night in Florida, USA and Glasgow, UK.
