Whales In Space

This report of forty ORBL UFOs from near Chester UK was sent to me in late September. I emailed them back to ask permission to use it in a main post. In that email, they added “I only hope when you do the three people in a van who also stopped beside us (and borrowed our binoculars) read it and can verify what we all witnessed.”

On returning from LLandudno Saturday 21st September 2009 around 9pm whilst travelling on the dual carriageway heading for the motorway towards Manchester and reasonably near to Chester we saw a spectacular sight – there were about 40 of these orange ball lights all spaced out as if in formation – they were quite low down and travelling from the direction of the river Mersey towards our location then began gaining height at a constant steady speed, slowly disappearing into the clouds.

My husband and I stopped at a lay-by and managed to get a better look through the binoculars from the boot of our car. They certainly weren’t air balloons as the lights did not flicker, not planes, not helicopters, weather balloons or birds. When each one reached the clouds there was no light reflecting on the clouds which does happen with planes. As we were stopped other vehicles did the same and the traffic slowed right down. We were stopped for about 20 minutes and were lucky enough to have two spells of a gap in the traffic which lasted around 5 – 6 seconds which gave us the opportunity to listen for the sound coming from them but there was none, just total silence.

We cannot believe that so far we haven’t managed to see anything on the news or in the papers about this as it was such a fantastic sight with so many appearing at once.

Perhaps something has been said and we missed it but as you can see I’ve been periodically looking on the internet which is how I found your statements which perfectly matched the description of what my husband and I both witnessed.

Even if someday an easy explanation comes forth I’ll never forget the amazement, wonder and disbelief of what I and many others saw that night.

I can’t stop looking at the skies in the hope it repeats itself………..

I searched online for any other reports of multiple ORBL sightings from England that night and found none that match both time and description. Starting several nights before, there was a little UFO flap going on. Here are some other sightings from that time period.

The video below is from the same night, but is a single blue-ish white traveling in a straight line. That video was take about 200 mile south near Cardiff, South Glamorgan, UK.

This report is from two night before. Three bright orange lights over 350 miles south of the Chester sightings.

Also on September 21st, Lee Betts of Newton St Cyres (near Exeter) reported a different unknown object in the British sky, 250 miles south of our Chester sighting.

Betts described the experience, ”I couldn’t believe it at first. The shape was about 100ft long and there were four lights coming from it initially. The shape moved slowly and it seemed to pivot on a central axis. Then, without warning, a sudden flash of light like a shooting star went across the sky. It was very strange. I have been an amateur astronomer for the past three years and I’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s unexplained.”

Since the last week of May, UFO sighting have been coming in from Britain at an increased rate, almost too many to track. Even Fox News has picked up a recent Sun article about 20 plus UFOs over Eastern England. Pictures are online at The Sun’s Article and they look suspiciously like chinese lanterns, like those credited for the early May Dorset UFOs.

This article from http://www.countytimes.co.uk has a “funny looking light” over Llanfair Caereinion on May 31st. An 82 year old Montgomeryshire resident spotted the object at what he estimated to be 15,000 feet off the ground.

www.metro.co.uk has this pic and article of ‘15 mystery orbs‘ seen on Sunday from Merseyside, Cambridgeshire, and Lincoln. The article also states “Clusters of more than 100 have been spotted across Britain and even Holland, it was reported today. ‘ These maybe the same objects from the Fox News/Sun article, but with different pictures and additional witnesses.

www.telegraph.co.uk is trying blame the whole thing on Navy military exercises

Meanwhile www.mirror.co.uk publishes photos and witness reports from 3 different locations.

www.thisislincolnshire.co.uk claims to have all the answers, crediting a wedding party releasing lanterns, but we all saw that explanation coming.

We have been following the increased UFO activity over the UK for a while, but this rash of sightings is crowding the British skies more than normal.

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.
