Date of Sighting: June or early July 2014.
Time: 1-1:30 am, week night.
Witness Name: Andrew
Witness Statement: I had a visit from my brother and wife last weekend and Saturday night they recounted an interesting sighting they had about 3-4 weeks ago. They had both been in bed for a while but my sister in law decided to get up and open a window, she then noticed a line of strobing lights, a few hundred yds away down the road. She initially though it might be an aircraft although it was low, the lights were red white and possibly a blue and they flashed to create a rotating effect. It crossed the road and went out of view form her position and so she went to get my brother up, who thought it was likely a helicopter, and then moved to the back bedroom. My brother joined her and they both watched it continue moving east at the same height and speed. My brother estimated its size as being up to 100ft between the lights and although it was not fully dark no shape could be seen. Their house is on higher ground and they were able to watch for several minuets as it followed the terrain and slowly descended below their position, he said it was very low. It then did a strange looking manoeuvre where the lights went from a horizontal line to a near vertical one while still moving at the same speed and travelling in the same direction. They lost sight of it a little while latter when it dropped below houses/ trees ect several miles away.
