John James: “My wife and myself were in the garden having a cigarette tonight as we often do. We agreed it was quite cloudy but thought the clouds seemed very bright and assumed the moon was shining through them, having said that, it looked a very strange colour.
We were looking in a south westerly direction. Within 5 minutes of looking towards the sky, we both saw what looked like a very bright star. It flashed, and then it moved from the west towards the huge bright patch in the south west area of the sky, before disappearing out of sight!
At this point we waited for the clouds to have a gap and reveal the moon, as the brightness of the patch in the sky seemed too unusual to ignore.
We both still can’t believe what we saw with our own eyes, but it was as if someone had switched a light off! The large bright patch in the sky went out! As if someone had flicked a switch! We had watched this for 15 minutes approx. The clouds broke....and the scary part was that there was no moon.
We have witnessed other sightings before but never reported them. This one tonight really was something we thought should be told.”
