Whales In Space

The Lancashire Evening Post has an interview and article with Jason Robinson, a 34 year old former ‘air defender’ who saw four mysterious craft in the distance while out walking his dog on Monday October 12th near his home in Threefields, Tanterton.

The father of 3 states that as part of his military training he can ‘recognise military planes and civilian planes’ and these were nothing he had seen before.

“I had to know every plane and they were definitely not what we had. We all witnessed that the traffic in the sky above where they were was horrendous. You’d never see that anywhere.

There must have been other people who saw them because they were huge. If you go off the size of a plane, say 60 feet wide. These must have been at least 1,000 feet – that’s how big they were.

It doesn’t look big on there (the phone camera screen) but you can’t even see the planes on there – that’s how big these are to them. You can’t come out with ‘they’re Chinese lanterns.”

Two of his sons, Samuel and Joseph, his girlfriend Tara Hughes, 32, and her mother Joan also witnessed the UFOs.

Robison claims the UFOs were then surrounded by 15 to 20 planes and 4 military helicopters.

Robison says he has video footage where a saucer shaped craft is visible, but has not release the video yet.

Mysterious orange lights that were reported over Weymouth and Portland last Friday and Saturday have been credited to Chinese lanterns that were launched from an annual pagan Beltane gathering at Rodden, near Langton Herring in Southern UK. Over 40 lanterns were released as part of a celebration welcoming the start of summer.

Chinese lanterns have been blamed for other UFO reports, including recent unexplained lights over Peterborough UK and late April video over Moscow.

Two days later and almost 250 miles away, residents of Weymouth UK are seeing strange orange orb lights in the sky much like the ones reported May 3rd over Peterborough.

The Dorset Echo collected witness reports. Sighting were on Saturday and Sunday night. One on Saturday reporting an “object traveling north-west to south-east over the Haylands Estate on Portland” around 9:20pm. Another sighting from Sunday reported “orange light in a clear bit of sky” that was “was travelling quite fast and disappeared towards Portland”.

Yet another witness claims to have seen the light at 10:30 on Sunday night, adding “I counted 12 lights in all, it was really peculiar. They were all moving right across the sky more slowly than a helicopter or anything like that. They seemed to be coming over the Ridgeway and floating over towards Weymouth, they weren’t in any particular formation.”

Of course, blame it on Chinese lanterns or meteors. Dorset police said “We found nothing related to UFOs, orange lights, unidentified objects or anything similar.” and Portland Coastguard went with the Chinese lanterns or meteors story.

Since last summer, Peterborough has been having reports of unexplained flying objects and mystery lights in the sky.

Reports in August were said to be the recently restored Vulcan bomber doing test flights over the area.

In October, a fireball streaked across the. It was excused as a “unusually large” meteor. November followed with more sighting and reports, these also explained as more Vulcan flights.

In January, The Evening Telegraph reported other unexplained lights at about midnight on New Years Days. It took several days for the story to come out to credit a family setting off Chinese lanterns as the cause of these unexplained lights.

Weird things in the sky continued.

On the night of April 8th, an odd craft was seen circling the area. It was later explained as a airplane with “thermal imaging equipment” collecting data on energy usage of homes.

Which all brings us to May 3rd, with more unexplained lights in the sky over Peterborough.

Multiple reports of 8 to 10 lights put the objects in the sky a little after 10pm, “We all got out to look but there was no noise, a clear sky and these objects seemed to be heading towards Whittlesey.”

A witness from Orton Longueville stated, “They were quite low down and all floating together. They were an orange and yellow color and looked like candles floating. There was no noise coming from them. We tried to take pictures but nothing came out on the camera and the lights floated towards Orton Hall Hotel.”

Oddly enough, these descriptions don’t match another that was reported the same night, “My daughter spotted these strange lights in the sky and phoned me. I had a look and, although faint, a beam of light could be seen coming from the Peterborough area. It was obviously someone shining a very strong light on to the low cloud base. UFOs – rubbish.”

So six different UFO ‘events’ over Peterborough since August of last year. Explained away as test military flights, meteors, Chinese lanterns, airplanes, and lights on clouds.

Seems a bit suspicious to me.

Two videos from different perspectives show strange UFO lights over Moscow.
The videos are said to be from April 24th or 25th, 2009.
Different reports claim different numbers of the lights, somewhere between 5 and 50.
Speculation is they are Chinese lanterns or other explainable earthly objects.
