SIGHTING: EAST PRESTON, ENGLAND (UNITED KINGDOM)
Witness Testimony
"I went out for my once daily exercise walk in the evening,just caught the end of sunset.We are only allowed one lot of exercise a day currently in the uk as we are on lockdown due to covid-19 sadly.Due to being a key worker,it is often evening before i manage to escape! i watched the remnants of sunset,it was beautiful.I was walking along the beach which is very close to my house & it was still light but going towards dusk.I took quite a few photos along the way as i always try to...It is my hobby.I was walking along towards kingston gorse & ferring on the greensward right next to the beach.After a few minutes walking i realised it was very near to dark i spun round facing the way i had come & saw that in the far distance a part of the sky still had a rosy hugh & decided too take a couple of shots of it.Where i was standing next to the sea it was quite dark,as it was a very cloudy night.There was a very large bank of cloud directly above me & stretching out over the sea,so i could not make out much of the sky...But i thought it would make a great contrast in my photo,next to the clear rosy bit of sky in the distance.Anyway i continued on my walk as far as ferring & then decided to turn back towards home.It was very dark by now & i switched on my torch as it is totally unlit along there & i felt a bit spooky,eerie.I hurried home after that but it is quite a distance to walk.When i got home i took the memory card from my canon camera & put it into my laptop to look at the photos.I was flicking through them & then noticed that one looked a bit odd compared to the others...Right on top of the large bank of dark cloud were three perfect white spheres.They were quite well spaced apart & in the shape of a triangle.Sometimes when i look at it ,it appears to be an iscosceles triangle,but sometimes i think it resembles a right angled triangle.I have been racking my brain trying to come up with an explanation for this,there were no lights anywhere in the vicinity to cause a reflection & nothing for any light to bounce off of.There may well be a logical explanation but i don`t know what it is.I had a slightly similar experience late last summer at a different location & with a totally different camera.Which i sent into mufon...Simply because i have had a couple of very close up sightings of craft in the sky very low down in the sky twice in my life & a decade apart.I am not a nutcase or on drugs or drink!! i just seem to get these odd experiences from time to time in my life.The strange thing that night was that i was feeling very anxious about the covid-19 situation & the lockdown in the uk.We are not allowed to visit anyone,family or friends,because of this when i went for my walk i said out loud"beam me up scotty! take me away from this disease ridden planet!"...There was no-one there to hear me or i would not have said it! therefor when i saw this photo with the spheres i was pretty amazed & laughed out loud! anyway i have no idea what has caused them to appear on the photo & it is really the shape that they make,that made me stop & wonder about it.To me they almost look like they could be lights on the corners of some craft or plane.Though not any planes i am aware of,we do not really have much if any flying going on in the uk currently,there are hardly any light aircraft & even fewer large jet aircraft due to the situation that is ongoing.I am interested to know what you think about this photo anyway.Many thanks for your time."
