Late evening on 5th January 2022 Shaun Watson got in touch with BUFOG via our online sighting report form to report a sighting of two glowing UFOs which had just happened. I soon contacted him via Facebook messenger to go over things in more depth.
Sighting Details
At 8.20pm Shaun stepped out into his back garden of his house on May Lane, Yardley Wood, to grab something from his shed. It was a clear and dry evening with only light cloud in the sky. As he walked down the garden he happened to glace to the South East East over the fence.
Through the branches of some nearby trees he noticed two brightly glowing white lights positioned some distance horizontally away from one another. The lights were so bright that they emitted rays from their centre in different directions, most likely caused by atmospheric distortion. They seemed to be at quite low altitude at only about 10 degrees elevation.
Shaun immediately noticed that the two lights were slowly moving towards one another. There were no other coloured lights visible and seemingly no sound coming from them, so he did not think they were distant aircraft. At first he assumed that they were attached to either end of a crane which was slowly rotating. He had not noticed a crane in the location before but this seemed like a logical explanation for what he was seeing.
However as the lights reached each other they seemed to briefly merge together and stop for a few seconds. They continued on their paths, but after a moment the light which had came from the left (the North North East) stopped moving, while the other continued to the left. At this point Shaun realised they were separate from one another and not two fixed lights attached to a single large object. The other light which was still moving continued to the left until it was lost from sight behind the houses.
At this point Shaun realised they may be something more unusual so he quickly ran back into the house to get his smartphone. Heading back outside he was pleased to find that the other orb of light was still present, so he started to film it. For almost a minute the light seemed to be stationary. Then suddenly it made a short and fast manoeuvre to the left before halting again. After watching for another minute the light started to travel upwards at a slow speed. At this point he lost sight of it on his smartphone camera and stopped filming.
Shaun waited a short amount of time hoping the light would return. However it did not and in the end he headed back insde.
Video Analysis
Unfortunately by the time Shaun started to film, one of the two orbs had already left the area. Below is the 1 minute 57 second long video Shaun managed to capture of the remaining white orb:
