Description

To the best of my ability I have recreated what I saw on the 19.10.2023, at 8.15pm, in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, Uk.

I was out in my garden (south facing) looking North over my rooftop at the stars. It was a clear calm night and I was stargazing while smoking. Once I finished, I put out my cigarette and headed back to the house. When I looked up, I saw the image I have made. At first I noticed the dim lights, then the silhouette of the 'craft' slightly contrasting the night sky, then the silence.

It moved slowly, and it seemed very low, just grazing the houses roofs, or so it appeared. If my height assumption was correct, I'd guess size similar to that of a bus, certainly bigger than a car. However if my bearings were off and it was higher, then it could have been much, much larger. But I had a sense it was low.

I have never had an experience like this. This topic has always been interesting to me, but not in a million years did i think I'd ever see something legit.

I would have chalked it down to a drone/military air craft, had it not been completely silent. We have a lot of air traffic here, so I know a plane when I see one.

This was over a year ago now, I have never seen anything like it since. However on the 29.11.2024 at 5.40pm, again having a cigarette in my garden, this time with partner, we both saw 3 parallel lights moving at speed heading North, one disappeared and the other 2 changed trajectory. They looked like satellites initially, but there speed and close proximity caught our attention. For some reason, this sighting freaked me the eff out.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?
