Train driver and other railway worker witness multicoloured cigar shape object low in the sky at night.

This is from a train driver friend of mine. Note 66 is a type of locomotive -

Right Loz, This is what I saw: Coventry Station Driving 66537 (4006) On the up fast country end 02.10 hours on 17/06/05 About half a mile before Cov station i noticed at about a 35 degree angle from eyesight a large green light above coventry city centre. it appeared to be stationary and was a steady light.

getting closer to cov stn light turned to a steady red or slightly orange glow.

i couldn't remain in permanet focus with the object because i was running on to a red signal at the end of cov stn.

However, the closer i got to the end of the stn platform i then observed that the light had a shape. It appeared to be tube like and in complete darkness with a red light at the rear. i would guess that it was only about a couple of hundred feet in the sky and was moving north east over cov towards nuneaton. there was no noise i could hear but then again i was in a 66.

Also there was a railgrinding machine on the down slow platform and the driver of that was on the platform watching the ufo.

maybe it was a barrage balloon ? maybe it was a zepplin type craft? but why the steady light not flashing plus i have never seen these at night and also it apperared to be thin and tube like.
