This sighting occured on Wednesday 12 of November 2008 8:20pm,the wife and i had gone out to swap our cars on the driveway,this is something we do each night because i leave for work first in the morning. As i opened the front door i noticed a bright orange light in the sky coming from the west,we watched it pass over us ,i went back into the house and phoned my dad who is ex RAF and told him what was happening. I then went outside again, by then it was just going into some light cloud, the cloud seemed to banish the glare which was coming from the object, this is what i could see, it looked like three orange squares in a triangle formation and from each square it seemed to emit a faint white light in a arc pattern outwards from above the orange squares, it then entered some thick cloud and the object was gone.I phoned my dad and asked him if his discription was similar to mine,he said he seen the orange light but he could not make out any detail when it entered the cloud, he lives about a mile away from me in the direction from which the object came.

Being a avid sky watcher and aircraft entheusiast i do know that this was not a conventional aircraft,sattelite or the ISS.
