Sighting Details
It was a calm and pleasant evening in March 2011. Robbie was in his flat in Rubery. He lives on the first floor so has a good view from the living room window out over Worcestershire to the South. He was sitting on the sofa and staring out of the window.
Just before 10pm he suddenly noticed an orange glow in the sky. He could see a glowing object hovering above a nearby field to the South West of his location. It appeared to be a sphere, glowing an orange/blue-white colour. It appeared to be at quite low altitude. Robbie quickly ran and grabbed his video camera and began filming the object using its night vision setting.
The object passed over a hedge and descended down into a field. It moved across the field and then started to ascend again, passing over the high street. It then went behind some trees and was lost from sight for several seconds. It then reappeared rising above the trees, before moving towards his location.
It approached and passed over the roof of his flat out of sight, moving in a North Easterly direction. The movement was smooth and swift. In total he had watched the object for several minutes.
Sighting Analysis
Unfortunately the witness failed to send me the video footage to examine. However the appearance of the object and its manoeuvring capabilities both point towards this sighting potentially being of a sky lantern. These tend to have an orange amber glow, although sometimes their brightness means the colour is not always clear, especially at distance. Without further contact from the witness it is impossible to comment further at this stage.
