I just saw a UFO

Or should that be an UFO?

10:30 a short thick green object in the south west. It persisted for about 30 seconds started off being quite short then grew longer shorter, then really long and before it went behind a clour, suddenly just switched off. Weirdest thing I have ever seen. Luckily, I had a friend with me, we both saw it because initially I though I had something in my eye, like a reflection.

Wondering if it might be some strange form or lightning, a fireball - in green ??

Very exciting. Gonna do a search see if anyone else saw it...

St Elmo's Fire ?

Some kind of lightning or aurora effect ?

A weather balloon ?

Satellite ?

Spaceship from Epsilon Eridani IV

I do hope aliens invade, at least it will take the olympics off the bloody news !

Uh-oh! I look up the sky is blue, I look down and so are you.

Went back out and saw three or four more.

Part of me thinks it just might have been a high powered laser but only because I can't think of any other phenomena it might have been. Certainly it was initially a very strange sky.

They definitely winked off as though they had been switched off but there was also some sparkling.

Got a couple of pics...

if they were meteors, they were up in the sky for a very long time...

and very green.

They are laser lights shone into the sky from the Waterman’s Art Centre in Brentford.

I think I went there once.

The arts centre I mean. I've been to Brentford multiple times.

That's why I gave the '80s a miss.

That's what they want you to believe.

TBF the still photos look a lot like lasers. Without seeing the movement i'd suggest it's that.
