SIGHTING: CLEETHORPES, ENGLAND (UNITED KINGDOM)

Witness Testimony

"Me and my brother were walking along what is called the North Wall on Cleethorpes beach on the 7th July 2016 around 10.20pm. It was a clear dark night and was very quiet with most people in their houses asleep. As we were walking along my brother shouted "What is that?!" I turned and saw a yellowy-orange ball of light almost fireball-like in the sky approximately 30-40 feet high, shoot up and fly away for approximately 2 seconds then it disappeared immediately leaving nothing behind. It was very bright and moved fluenty.The ball of light had a trail almost like a shooting star but was too close to be a star. My first assumption was that it was a firework or a flare as it shot up into the sky as if it were propelled up into the sky, but I quickly disputed this claim as there were no fireworks before that sighting and none after, also there were no voices of people or any sighting of people in their gardens lighting anything or anything else going into the sky. I was very shocked as to what I had witnessed and I tried to come up with something that would explain but nothing came to mind. My brother told me he had witnessed something very similar before."
