Circle of Orange/Red light flying over Kettering, Northamptonshire.
It was a normal Saturday night, I had put my kids to bed and had not been drinking alcohol. I went to get something from my car that is parked just outside my house, but before I reached my car I looked up at the sky as I saw a bright orange/red circle in the sky, at first I thought it was a firework and waited for the bang but as I watched it for about 20 more seconds I couldn’t identify what it was so called to my husband who was in the house to come out, he watched it for about another 20 seconds and also could not explain it either, I asked him to film it on his mobile phone as I know he always carries it with him! He recorded it for 1 min and 1 sec until his camera could not pick it up anymore but we watched it until it went out of sight!! It looked like a circle of solid orange/red light, bigger than a aeroplane light or star, I could not see any mass around the light, it was just the circle of light. It went across the sky under clouds at the same speed , at the same altitude and in a straight line. It was not an aeroplane, helicopter as there was no noise from it as all! Something travelling at this speed should have some kind of noise to it!
The next day we were still trying to find some explanation, we checked to see if it could have been the international space station but that was over New Zealand.
