Have you seen this UFO over the Isle of Wight?

I've since seen reports that these could be ornage laterns tied together. If this was the case is must have been a single string many hundreds of yards long.

A number of people saw up to ten of these orange lights moving in a line across the sky of our campsite near Shanklin on Saturday 20th September.Is there any official explanation of what they are?

on 13th Sept at 9pm we saw three lights in the sky in a line that then formed in to a triangle and then several more followed, there was no sound and there gradually disappeared one by one.They vanished over Sandown Bay after several minutes. We filmed on our camera but it,s quite hard to make out.Then when we viewed the film on the PC we noticed that at the right hand corner on the bottom a light pops up on the film and moves eractically for a few seconds and then goes. We did not see it when we were filming.

Since last friday we have been trying to find out what these lights which seemed to be gliding in an easterly direction were. We have spoken to a few people from the area and it seems they could possibly be some sort of small air balloon. We have heard that some people down in the village had released items the size of spud bags with tea tree lights attached, and they float off but eventualy burn out which would give the impression that they vanish. It would also answer why no sound is heard & why they seem so low in hight. We searched on line & found a number of sites which show how to make these tissue mini hot air balloons. Could this be the answer or do we keep getting visiters gliding through our skies.

On the night of the 08/08/08 at about 22.00hrs we saw a number of lights +-10 flying together over Liphook Hants.The lights were moving quickly across the sky and we could not hear any noise from them.they were moving too fast to be planes of helicopters.these moved off in the direction of Guildford and were followed shortly by two more that went off in the general direction of the coast.what are they?

We saw this twice in the past few months. It looks like it was above the Gosport area from our view in Ryde near the pier. It was yellowish at first and very bright hovering low maybe 200 feet above the ground. The light turned to a bright red, a candy apple red colour then suddenly it disappeared. We've seen it in the same area and the last time was about two weeks ago at the end of June 2008 at around 9pm.

We saw a large yelloy-orange globe of light hovering in the sky last night (24/06/2008) at 10.30, it then sped through the air at very fast speed and vanished right in front of us, ten minutes later it was spotted again speeding in the sky down St Johns Hill, then once again vanished,
