City's close encounter with UFOs
lunes, septiembre 15, 2008, 08:00
There were eerie goings on in the skies above Fishponds on Saturday night, according to residents who spotted a series of flashing orange lights.
A number of people in the area reported the presence of more than a dozen bright orange lights in the sky at 9.30pm.
According to witnesses, the lights appeared to come from the centre of the city, then hovered above Fishponds before disappearing.
Among the residents who saw the lights were Anne Rowe and her family.
Mrs Rowe, 42, said: "I don't know what they were but they came from town about five at a time, flashed on and off and then went.
"It went on for about half an hour. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. They were very high up, I don't think they were aircraft. It was really weird. About 100 people at a party next door saw them too.
"I've never dismissed UFOs. We've always said we think there's something else out there, and now this has made me more of a believer."
Tony Wyatt, 39, also lives in Fishponds and filmed the lights movements on a mobile phone.
He said: "I can't explain it, I didn't believe in UFOs until Saturday night. My wife thought it was shooting stars at first but they were far from it.
"I think they came from the Wells direction. I rang my brother in Bishopsworth but he couldn't see them.
"I've not heard anything to explain what they might be."
The Post also received reports of residents in Barton Hill and Westbury-on-Trym seeing multi-coloured lights in the sky at around the same time.
This is not the first time Fishponds has been the subject of spooky speculation.
There were reports of a "suspicious helicopter-shaped object" with gold and red lighting on it, flying over the area during an evening in August 2000.
It was one of a number of UFO sightings in Avon and Somerset, logged by the Ministry Of Defence and revealed last year after a request under the Freedom Of Information Act.
Clevedon, Weston-super-Mare and Henbury were other favourite tourist destinations for our intergalactic friends.
Last Thursday 11/9/08 night at 9-30 I was in the garden waiting for my dogs to come in ,I always look at the sky while i'm waiting suddenly I saw a reddish ball
in between the clouds, it disappeared in a blink of the eye then appeared again in a clear part of the sky a distance away, then was gone again in an instant .it must have been traveling at phenominal speed, it was something not of our world !!!!!! Max, Portishead commented on 16-Sep-2008 20:20

I thought I had perfected that cloaking device...!

Gemma, how do you know how high they were at night ? Lanterns would have gone in the direction of the wind and would not "of (sic) gone in seperate (sic) directions". Mulder, Area 21 commented on 15-Sep-2008 15:35
I witnessed these red/orangey lights and they were not Chinese Lanterns they all flew in formation if these were the chinese lanterns surely they would of gone seperate directions? Shortly after a plane flew over and these orange lights were much bigger than the plane lights and the plane was much lower in height. Gemma, Bristol commented on 15-Sep-2008 15:28

UFOs? You're all deluded. Steven, Bristol commented on 15-Sep-2008 12:35
They were certainly not balloons or chinese lanterns as they were to high and at times static,the same lights were seen over Basingstoke in june. gerry, bristol commented on 15-Sep-2008 12:03
Visitors from space? No chance. It was decorated balloons released by a "Beaver" scout group on Saturday evening. Steven, North Bristol commented on 15-Sep-2008 11:58
oops sorry i did not mean to send so many messages, but there seemed to be something wrong with the comment thing Thomas, bristol commented on 15-Sep-2008 11:53
stargazer: what you saw (and what the article refers to too) is probably a set of
candle-lit paper sky lanterns, which are widely available from the internet.

I saw the lights on saturday,contacted the media nobody wanted to know except the evening post. gerry, bristol commented on 15-Sep-2008 11:31
I saw the lights from my back garden at 9.35 pm on Saturday 13th September. At first I saw only one bright orange "light", it was traveling almost due east quite rapidly, about as fast as an Easy Jet does on its approach over our house when landing at Lulsgate Airport. It then stopped and remained still for maybe half a minute, and then began to turn a darker orange colour, and faded away. Shortly after two more lights followed exactly the same pattern, flying parallel to each other, and then some more. At this point I decided I had time to fetch my camera and take some digital photographs of this event. I took about 30 photographs, unfortunately all hand held many of which are blured, but some do show a reasonably clear image.By 9.50 I had seen 10 or 12 of these lights, but saw no more after this time.I considered what I had seen, and trying to be as level headed as possible I assumed that it was either a meteor storm, a man made space vehicle breaking up after entering the atmosphere, or lastly some sort of UFOs.The lights were very bright, many times brighter than any of the stars visable, even with the full moon.I believed there was a "rational" explanation for this occurance, and tried to telephone the CAA at Lulsgate, the Evening Post and sent a text to the Times Newspaper, (not being a jounalist it was not acceptable apparently).I did all this simply to find out what it was that I had seen in the sky, and not being able to contact anyone, I went to bed about 11.30pm.I tried to contact BBC Radio Bristol on Sunday morning and several other local radio stations, non of which had anyone on the switchboard to take calls.I finally found someone at South West News Services but as the local news had not been received yet she was unable to comfirm what I had seen.I listened to the GWR programme at 9.00 today (Monday) hoping for some serious explanation, but was disappointed by the trivialisation of the event which was obviously getting in the way of their schedule.I would much appreciate finding out what it was I saw, (were they really "Chinese Lanterns"!) and I hope this comment is of some value towards solving this event.

I saw red lights over the Sea Mills area a couple of Saturdays ago (night of kite festival) - there must have been about 20 or so over a period of half an hour. They appeared to be coming from the Ashton Court area (so I thought they might be something to do with the Kite Festival but at 9.30 - 10 it had finished so I don't think it could be). They were orange/red and appeared in groups and disappeared behind the clouds. They were lower than aircraft and were travelling at a steady pace - not fast but not slow. They were roundish in shape. Did anyone else see anything that night? stargazer, Bristol north
