Leighton
Teenagers in Appenine Way rec in Leighton captured what they thought was a UFO on a mobile phone a few weeks ago before all the national sightings started.
The image clearly shows a very bright object in the night sky which the teenagers said hovered for ages and was accompanied by red flashing lights. The young people spend a lot of time in the park and dismissed claims it could have been an aeroplane.
Paranormal activity is suspected elsewhere over the streets of Bedfordshire after people saw flashing lights over Clapham and Luton.
In particular, the group Scope-Paranormal.com has been analysing footage which was captured by an eagle-eyed resident at 9.45pm on Saturday June 7 in Clapham, Beds.
It shows seven red lights moving in formation for around two–and–a–half minutes and these lights may have been seen in Leighton.
And the group, which covers Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, have stated a very similar incident was reported by three police officers who were travelling in a force helicopter in South Wales the same evening.
Scope-Paranormal.com spokesman, Sharon Chesterman, said: "Put together with the witness statement, we believe there was definitely something going on.
"The interesting thing is that there have been a number of similar sightings in America recently. Those also show seven red lights moving in a circle and then one drops down to create a triangle."
Letchworth
Myself and my mum were on our way to club 2000 bingo hall in Bedford from Letchworth garden city I was taking photos on iphone of a rainbow after a spot of rain and then the opposite side was admiring the sun set and colourful sky then I noticed what I thought was a plane that leaves the cloud trail. On further inspection the object must have been spinning, was hitting the sun light after each rotation I said to my mum, "what is that".
While driving she glanced become curious so pulled over I took a short video and she took a photo we could not believe what we were seeing was crystal clear 100% not any of our crafts unfortunately the video and photo were on the sunset where it was too bright to enhance the object.
I posted this on Face book and to my surprise had 2 other people who also saw something in the direction, I look at the sky a lot cloud formations, sun sets, shooting stars etc. This is the 3rd or 4th bizarre event I have seen in the last 6 years the last episode I had and had perfect footage of an obscure object 2 years ago I watched a few times went to upload it on my PC and my reliable Sony Ericsson never had a problem with mysteriously packed up and never worked since. I'm very strong minded not easily fooled when it comes to ghosts, psychics and all that weird stuff but if someone asked me is there life elsewhere I'd say yes based on personal experience exciting stuff.
Dunstable
"I saw a strange light in the sky. It was orangey red and was travelling South to North as far as I could judge. Difficult to estimate height as it was dark. Maybe around 5000 feet. It was travelling quite fast but there was no noise."
Bedford
On the morning of the 18th of July at approx. 1:47am, I was in my living room and decided to go outside for a cigarette. It was later than I usually go to bed, as my 15 week old daughter was having trouble getting to sleep. As I lit the cigarette I noticed 2 orange lights in the distance far away from the rooftops. Today was the first day of a bi-yearly festival so I thought it was a couple of fireworks going off. I thought I'd keep my eye on them as the fireworks should of finished at 11pm and it looks like people were still letting them off.
The first thing that struck me was the silence. I live close to where the festival is taking place and the fireworks earlier in the night where like artillery going off in my back garden. These lights were silent and after several seconds they were still in the air and not making the usual whistles or exploding. Quite unusual, I dismissed them as fireworks but they were moving closer so I thought they were airplanes as there's an airport in the next town from us.
As I kept watching I noticed they were not airplanes either. They were moving far too fast and were far too bright. When airplanes pass over they are very slow and usually 2 or 3 red blinking lights and a constant white one. The 2 objects where moving VERY fast and where bright orange. It's hard to estimate a speed, but comparing it to airplanes passing overheard at say 600mph after flying for 20–30 minutes, these objects where flying about 3000–4000mph. They covered the night sky in about 30 seconds. They couldn't of been fireworks as the festival is about 1.5–2 miles away and even though I could see and here the fireworks vividly, I've never known fireworks to travel that high up and that distance before now.
Both objects where flying fast and high, one of them sped up as to catch up with the other. After seeing them fly flawlessly straight for two minutes, the one catching up seemed to turn and then both of them sped up faster and disappeared within the blink of an eye.
My first thoughts were curiosity over what I thought they might be, then intrigue of finding out they aren't what I thought. When I realised what they weren't, I started to think about what they could be. It didn't even occur to me that they could be anything unidentifiable until they got about halfway across the sky. I felt excitement over witnessing it but somehow I over–rided my awe and ran inside to get the camera. I'm still feeling a little excited even now.
It was a pitch black night with only a few clouds in the sky. It had rained a little earlier in the day but cleared up in the afternoon. The only way I can describe them where two very bright orange lights, I couldn't see what shape or size they where. But compared to air traffic, they seemed like they were not as high up, but where moving extremely fast. I watched them for approx. 2 Min's before I ran inside and picked up my digital camera which took about 20 seconds maximum. They were still there when I returned outside and managed to take 3 photos, i witnessed them for a few more seconds before one of them increased speed and changed direction slightly. Then both of them increased speed and disappeared. They didn't disappear over rooftops, they just seemed to of gone up.
