Account of Events - I was outside on the night of November the 18th I was sky watching I have been sky watching for nearly the hole month of November on the night I decided to do the watch not from the front of the house but in the back garden I took my usual equipment out with me and set up my things such as camera, torch etc. and was ready to have a good sky watch. My friend was with me for about 30 minutes he saw a shooting star or a possible satellite fly across the sky he sighted this for about 3 seconds two days before I saw a very similar thing the night continued and we saw nothing else. My fried was then picked up by his parents at 19:00 on the night I went back to sky watch. I was watching for 15 minutes and recorded no events. But then at 19:23 I saw two lights fly across the sky I was in utter shock because the thing was so low in the sky it was only the height of a two story building it had not engine noise what so ever that is another thing that really startled me about it I watched for about 20 seconds as it flew past I quickly acted and ran down two stairs that leave off the patio and then I had to get up a flight of 8 stairs these are stairs because it is a house that was built on a slope so there are stairs down to the garden which is a very strange layout. I got up the stairs and got my camera ready I saw the two lights as it past out of sight behind a tree. There is a massive double gate at the top of the stairs and it is chained it is chained because we have recently been getting burglars attempting to get into the garage and steal like they are known to do I pulled endlessly on the chain but it was no use it just would not come on I am not sure if this is due to the cold temperature and the chain was stuck on by ice or frost or something along those lines but it would not come off. I ran down the stairs and round to the other set of stairs which is at the other side of the garden and is a very long way away I got up those stairs but when I got up the stairs there was nothing at all to be seen. But I am 100% sure this is a UFO it could not be identified I just do not know what the hell it could be.

Military Fighter This is one thing that is really odd about the Sighting I think the government could be chasing this thing as before the sighting I saw a military jet go over which is unusual for that time of night I heard the roar that fighters make and it flew overhead leaving a trail that fighters commonly made it had all red lights flashing and all the other lights were on and it went off into the distant in a Southerly direction then a few minutes later was when I saw the UFO go toward the East then about 2 minutes after the sighting the fighter (possibly the same one) came back and went off to the East it think it was the same because it had all the same lights on it. So I think the government could have possibly been chasing this thing.
