2012-02-04 - Bangalore (India) - Fireball

Seven bright orange-red flashes emitting aircrafts steadily moving across the Bangalore sky Me and my wife had just returned from the Big Bazar shopping mall, and were just opening our door-lock when we saw these two bright orange-red lights in the sky.My wife ignored them saying those were just lanterns in the sky and entered the room, I found the movement of the lights quite different from that of simple lanterns.Both the lights were moving at an uniform speed almost side by side(one slightly ahead of the other), but maintaining the angle throughout. The brightly lit objects were flickering and the colour was changing from orange to red in frequent random flickers.There was absolutely no sound from these crafts(can't be only 'flying lights' for sure)I stay at Domlur, but these UFOs were coming from the Old Airport direction. They were at a distance of 200 meters above the ground.I stay at the 3rd floor, so they appeared even closer.I could say they were moving fast enough to cover the Domlur sky from the right to the left within 1 minute..I called up my wife and asked her to get the camera fast.I took the snaps,which were getting blurred or leaving streaks/trails as it happens when you shoot a moving light with a hand held camera, without a tripod. So, I took a video as well with my canon automatic.Zoomed 16X to get a closer look, but the lights went far away.. Suddenly my wife pointed out,saying two more are coming.this time I took more videos. Same uniform speed, coordinated acceleration, and the flickering of lights. These were followed by another one, and then when I was giving up hope, again two of them appeared, and travelled across the sky. The airport and the airforce bases are near, so these could be some experimental aircrafts also. But I have never seen an aircraft emitting flickering lights like these, moving across the sky, without making any sound! So far I have heard a lot about these (since my childhood days, saw some of them on youtube, but this was the first time me and my wife saw such a fleet of UFOs across the Bangal! ore sky at Domlur. I have the snaps and videos which I will upload on youtube soometime,first I need to have dinner,as I'm quite hungry! Hope other people must have watched them as well, they were so bright, no one could miss them!Anyone wants the videos, or the pics may contact me.Wish I had a DSLR with Zoom lenses!
