Quite interesting but it's not the objects that are moving fast, it's the camera filming them that is moving around fast. If you take a fixed point behind them they aren't moving fast.

It may have been one of those remote controlled personal drones.
Could well have been. Correct size maybe if it was closer to us. Hard to pinpoint exact position as it was an unknown size in a perfect clear blue sky.
But it just vanished, didn't drop from the sky but vanished.

On a 2nd viewing. That does make sense.

Still, always interesting to see these things. There are quite a few of these sightings that may have a reasonable explanation but no one seems to be able to come up with it. Fascinating really.

It was our new striker flying in from the planet Zog. He's got 2 heads and 4 legs, so can do the job of 2 men as we only ever play one up front!

Unfortunately the common reaction to the word 'UFO' is 'you nutcase - aliens aren't visiting ffs...'
The fact is the clue is in the acronym - UNIDENTIFIED flying object. Someone who claims to have seen a UFO has basically said they have seen something they cannot identify. Someone claiming to have seen a spaceship is a different matter entirely (and you could be justified in labelling them head mental).
I personally have seen two UFO's, and both occasions with other witnesses. My personal belief is that they were both probably natural phenomena and not extra terrestrials... However the sheer number of UFO sightings worldwide runs into the thousands (possibly even hundreds of thousands). There is quite simply too many to ignore. I would wager around 95-99% are explainable in one way or another. It is the select few that simply cannot be explained and are often verified by military personel or other reputable individuals or equipment, that truly fascinate me. I'm still not saying they are ET, but they are almost certainly beyond our current understanding of the universe and the laws of physics as we understand them.
I doubt we will ever truly understand the UFO mystery in our lifetime.

That was where I was going with my question as well.
That's all very well, but we'd never get intergalactic clearance.

Saw a similar thing over Crowborough once - clear summer evening, silver metallic-like ball in the sky, as clear as anything, which then just seemed to vanish.

i reckon you saw a airliner. if they are at altitude and not leaving contrails, they can be very difficult to see, unless they are reflecting the sun. being at height far away your perspective wouldnt change much over several seconds, so one might perceive it as hovering. as the aspect of you to object or the objects orientation to the Sun changed slightly, the reflection would go and it would "disappear".

It was probably Ulloas penanlty re-entering the atmosphere
In 2003 , i was walking from the 5 ways down to the dip, when out of the corner of my eye i saw something shoot past from behind me. I had to move a bit to se what it was. When i did i saw a bright glowing object , which was dripping what looked like moulton metal. ( best way to explain is if u ever set fire to the end of one of those bord marker pens at school, and it drips little fire bombs, thats exactly what it looked like.)
Anyway, i was with freind who also saw it, and it followed us all the way home . About halfway home another one came, so we had two bright glowing balls of light following us home. What was also strange was that they apeared to change shape from circle to triangle.
This was quiet late at night and we will both remember this for the rest of our lives. The size of it looked about the size of the full moon but low enough that when i first saw it i had to move tl se it from behind this house after it shot pased..
it felt like it was watching us and actually got a bit frietning. After seing this i started looking in to the subject to find out what it could of been. It turns out lots of people have these experiences , millions. And theres more than enougn everdance to sugest that we infact are being visited by e. Ts and have been for thousand of years.
look into betty and barney hills case where they saw a ufo and taken into a craft , they got told were they come from, ( zeta reticuli ) . They even gavebetty and barney a star map from were they came from witch was proven a correct star system years later.
Also look up travis walton case .
and ufo starts nuclear war head.
People will take the mickey, but thats because of how people have been brainwashed from the telly to behave. The world government know about this but new people would panick so chose to keep this top secret.
theres loads of proof out there for the people ready to know the truth, including astronorts who walked on the moon. Lol into all that, .
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.....

I thought United Friends of Oxford had won a football tie.
Normally just read on NSC but couldn't help myself replying as I'm a Gatwick based pilot.
When flying in from the west and it's busy going into Gatwick we take up a holding pattern. We enter this pattern by initially flying to Lewes, then turning left to Burgess hill. From Burgess hill we circle in a racetrack pattern with about 5 mile legs.
At 7pm the sun is quite low in the west. Driving north towards the tunnel it is quite possible you saw a jet at about 7/8000ft in the turn with the sun reflecting off it. As it was in the turn (which takes about a minute to complete) it would have looked pretty stationary as it is initially turning to the north in the same direction as you are travelling. At 7pm there wouldn't be much traffic towards the tunnel so by the time it had completed the turn you may have entered the tunnel. Popping out of the tunnel the aircraft would have been west bound with the sun not reflecting off it making it hard to see.
Just my theory!
