Steve McGregor enjoys star gazing on regular occasions. Numerous times he has witnessed glowing moving star-like objects in the night sky. These objects have performed manoeuvres which mean they cannot have been satellites or space debris travelling in orbit. On 7th August 2011 he, his brother and father had a particularly interesting sighting which he decided to share with me via Richplanet.net.

 

Sighting Details

 

It was 2.20am on the morning of 7th August 2011. The weather was very clear and still and the stars were fully visible. The three men were standing outside their home on Hayling Road in Watford, Hertfordshire and staring up at the sky. Steve caught sight of a moving white light travelling across the sky, looking very much like a satellite. As he was watching it he suddenly noticed that the object was slowing down. It then came to a sharp halt and began to pulsate in brightness. It was astounding to watch and appeared to be caused by some kind of energy.

The witnesses watched the object pulsating for about 20 seconds. After this it vanished without trace. Steve was puzzled and thought to himself “It’s gone, it’s vanished!” Then suddenly it began pulsing again in the sky. A moment later it rapidly accelerated and shot away at an incredible speed, leaving a streak of light behind it like a meteorite. The men could not explain what they had just witnessed and felt that it was clearly something out of the ordinary.

 

Sighting Analysis

 

Due to the movements of the object this is an interesting sighting. The light could not have been a satellite or space debris, as although these can pulse in brightness in the manner that Steve describes, they cannot slow down to a halt. This shows that the object was under direct control. The pulsing may have been due to sunlight reflecting off it as it rotated, or could have been a glowing light source from the object itself. The fact that the pulsing ceased for a while could have been intentional or may have been because the object stopped rotating for a period of time, before starting again.

 

If the object really was under control as it appeared to be then it was probably one of two things – a human made spacecraft performing operations outside of the atmosphere, or a genuine UFO perhaps ET in origin. If the object did massively accelerate and fly away extremely fast then this suggests the later of these two possibilities, as even objects moving at hundreds of miles an hour would appear quite slow at that distance. However there is the possibility that the pulsing light had stopped at the exact moment that a meteorite flew across the sky, giving the impression they were the same object. This may sound unlikely but cannot be put out of the question.

 

If Steve continues to observe objects such as this then perhaps he will be able to capture some video footage of them in due course. As the objects are being seen after dark this would require the purchase of an infra red camera. If Steve decides to go ahead with this and sends me some video footage he has taken, I will analyse this footage and add my analysis to this report.
