A close up zoom of Steve's UFOs
June 15rh 2009 update:
This morning a witness named Steve O'Donnell telephoned Pat Regan, Founder of NWUR.
We shall let Steve explain what he saw in some detail below.
Time and Date Sunday 14th June 2009 at 22:40
Location: Seascale, Cumbria, UK.
Weather conditions: Clear sky, almost fully dark, no wind, quiet.
Steve informed NWUR:
“While travelling home from work at the nearby Sellafield site I observed 2 orange objects in the sky. They were travelling north along the coastline from a southern direction, they dropped lower in the sky over my home village of Seascale then took an arced trajectory as they raised in the sky then headed east inland over the Lake District. At their lowest point of travel the closest object had a diameter of about 1cm to the naked eye but its actual size was impossible to determine due to lack of cloud cover to give an accurate distance reference point. The two objects stayed in close proximity to each other as they flew but at varying distances and appeared to be travel at varying speeds until they accelerated into the distance.”
Seascale UFOs over the rooftops - what were they?
Steve continued:
“It was impossible to actually focus on the object even at its lowest point in the sky, all I could describe it as is bright orange/red (flamelike) and it seemed to effervesce with no obvious solid edges. There was no sound at all and at that time of night no background noise. As I made the sighting less than 100m from my home I managed to get back and my wife captured the attached pictures. I have no idea what the objects might have been. I also witnessed a similar sighting about 12 months ago, along with my wife but the lights on that occasion were further south in the sky and we got no pictures.”
Pat Regan asked Steve what he would say to the commonly used rationalisation by sceptics that the objects may have been Chinese lanterns. Steve dismissed the notion and stated categorically that no way could they have been such objects.

Addendum:
Were they lanterns or .... ?
Reports flood in about this particular sighting.
Another witness from Seascale named Christine Biggins called NWUR on 18th June. She reported that she had spotted about 12 strange lights that after reaching a certain altitude simply disappeared from sight. Christine saw these lights on the same night as the Steve O'Donnell account at approximately 11.20 pm.
Yet another witness, Dave Gray, from this area rang us to explain that he had spotted 2 Chinese lanterns at about 10.30 pm on the same evening being launched from a property in Seaton Way. This may perhaps explain the duo of lights initially reported but what of the dozen seen by Christine Biggins later on?
And yet another witness rang NWUR who reported even more strange lights undertaking very erratic activity about the skies in "Whitehaven", yet approximately in the previous week to the above sightings.
Yet again, another witness named Amy rang NWUR. Amy told us that on Saturday 13th June 2009 she saw 4 orange lights in the sky whilst driving back from Whitehaven to Seascale.
