B J today
-
Large Moon plus UFO ??!!
-
On Thursday afternoon about 3.30pm whilst driving back from Nottingham along the Colwick Bye pass, the Moon was low in the sky looking straight ahead toward B J, however its size appeared excessively large I remarked about this, for that it appeared to be coming directly and slowly towards us on earth. Its size was remarkably large, much larger, and very much clearer, more so than I had ever seen before
-
Atmospherics and moisture in the air I guessed was my solution in answer
( No! .. later we heard via the T V that the moon was now at it nearest position relative to the earth "in the last 30 years" and it would appeared 14% larger)
-
Later that evening, whilst at home (at a high spot) in B J. My wife was looking due west from the kitchen window when she noticed a significant bright light low in the sky somewhere over the M1 ( at a guess) . The light was very bright and constant ( no flashing navigation lights) with a slight red tinge to the top and a green tinge underneath.
-
The sky was totally clear at the time ( 6.30 ish ) with the complete absence of any stars. So inquisitive were we, we decided to use our high powered binoculars for a better view. Unfortunately this really did not provide an answer to our query.
-
The light remained in its position, never wavering - up, down, forward, backwards or sideways. During our sighting we did notice a Passenger Jet (presumably), passing at a similar height on its landing circuit path towards Castle Donnington, passing from right to left in the direction of the Ratcliffe Power station .
-
Shorly afterwards "our mystery lighted UFO" dissappeared completely .. ..
-
Incidentally I had previously seen this "mystery lighted UFO" about 6 months earlier in
exactly the same position - Huuummm .. .. very interesting ?!*
