02:30 GMT. Witness, Ashleigh was out with a friend on the beach near Blackpill taking long-exposure night photographs of the locality. Looking north-east towards the city centre.

“I was out photographing with a friend and although I didn’t actually see anything at the tie an odd light appeared in one of the photos I was taking.

The camera was on a tripod, the exposure time would have been about 4 minutes, long enough to see the movement of the stars. In the top right corner there is a very bright, apparently static light. I don’t think I was facing in this direction for much of the shoot, I was talking to my friend and making sure I didn’t walk into the camera in the dark which might explain why neither of us noticed it.

I just wondered if anyone would have any ideas of what it was. For any of you who know cameras, mine was set at F10 with the ISO set to 100 so for any flash of light to record it would have had to be very bright.
