Description

Time: Dec 15th 2024 - approx 22:15pm

Location: Cleeve Hill, Northeast of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK


My second sighting in just over two weeks. Looking north I spotted a bright white light at the top of Cleeve Hill, never seen anything bright up there before, and it's a wooded area, so anything at ground level would be obscured. Ran downstairs to get my GF to come see (couldn't shout because daughter was asleep). When we got back to the window we couldn't see it at first, then it faded back into view and turned red, a bright red like someone was shining a laser at us, I can't even imagine how bright that must have been at the source. We watched it for several minutes, it was moving ever so slightly with a bob/sway motion and kept phasing between red and white, but at a much slower pace than the two 'objects' I saw on the 29th ( https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1h2hy9s/sighting_gloucestershi… ).

Observed it for maybe 10 mins, got a 4min video this time but didn't film to the end because I had no idea how long I would be stood there, and it wasn't doing an awful lot (so no 5 observables I'm afraid, which admittedly makes this less compelling).

There was nothing on flight radar at the time: https://www.flightradar24.com/2024-12-15/22:09/20x/52.02,-1.89/10


Here is the daytime view, it's a bit tricky to tell from the closer trees, but you can see the top of the hill is a thick wooded area:

Here is the angle of view and estimated location of the 'object':

Again, like my last sighting, to my knowledge there is nothing there that you'd think would be of any interest, no military, no power infrastructure, nothing.
