Hovering over our house at the moment.

Think they are watching the travellers who have deposited 30+ caravans and taken over our local football pitch.

Strikemaster

Tutor [8]

Tucano

Canberra

SHF (3 Ship)

Red Arrows

And when I mean over it was fortunately right over seems their altimeters were accurate. Only just it appeared.

The two Lancasters were splendid.

Pauline was a little shocked while ironing yesterday to hear this noise and then the Red Arrows passed in front of our lounge window.

Crowds what an afternoon. Most places close down and the schools close at 12:00pm. Totally blue sky absolutely perfect.

Photos sorry difficult against the bright blue sky. Made more difficult as the aircraft fly a good distance apart. Good thinking !

Very nice Laurie. From me, just this very moment (not yesterday) the BBMF Dakota. Right over the roof heading east from Stafford.

Well following on from my last post, at 1554 today, the BBMF Dakota flew right over my greenhouse, heading West this time. Nice and low - lovely sound.

Not yesterday, 30 minutes ago in the pitch dark!

Sober as a Judge, I have just got back from walking the dog, during which I looked up at the stars. There was the usual commercial stuff going over at their cruising height - 40,000ft give or take - all nav. lights flashing. Easy to hear too.

Then I spotted something a lot, lot higher going west to east. One white light, at first I thought it was a satellite, but this light was flashing a steady 'beat', so it had to be an aircraft of some sort. It was travelling at an incredible speed and soon went out of sight. Being so high there was no sound....

What it was, I will never know. Anyone care to have a stab as to what it might have been? Serious suggestions on a postcard to......

It's got to have been the Chinese lantern that I lit this evening Ron

[Guest]

Puzzling. If it had no flashing light I think it might have been a meteor, or the start of WW III, although after 51 minutes I think I might have noticed something by now. (Or perhaps not yet. I'll look out of the window tomorrow morning to see if there are any mushroom clouds.) Having a flashing light seems to indicate that it was happy to advertise its presence, but what peaceful object could go so quickly?

Or perhaps it was much lower (giving the appearance of high speed if assumed to be at altitude) but even a ballistic object would make some sound observable at ground level. If there was a fence between you and it, that might account for the flashing light appearance, but you claiming to be sober you would probably have noticed that. I'm stumped.

You could dial 999 and say that the Martians have landed. That would hit the headlines and attract a lot of ideas.
