Me and my friend saw them off my back garden in wisewood. We watched three bright orange lights travel in what looked like arc flight path for about three minutes. Don't think it was ballons, the flight seemed controlled. Strangest thing i've ever seen.

Its taken from a practise out in thailand/far east of releasing lanterns into the air.

probably been brought back by backpackers.

I saw those blue flashes again last night in the sky, although only 3 of them. This was from just by Millhouses park as it went dark.

There was a thread on the blue flashes recently and it was put down to thunder but again there was no noise.

I didn't see the orange ones though.

Sorry lalaland, it was lightning again, a long way off, hence no thunder. My daughter was driving up from Lichfield last night and it was the same all the way home.

Yes ten orange lights all heading in the same direction and all disapearing at the same place....Strange days in deed.

We saw them, at Wincobank

They were a reddy colour when we saw them, I counted 5.

They headed off toward page hall and slowly dissapeared.

About 11 o'clock-ish.

Of a similar nature (at a push):

I took this picture from the top of Crimicar Lane yesterday morning (Sunday 27th July).

Clearly, it's a trail left from an aeroplane but I don't think I've seen such a trail underneath the cloud. It was a dark line which stretched for what appeared to be miles. Did anyone else see it?

Can anyone explain how it came about?

My husband was on Dore & Totley Golf Course yesterday between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and he saw it too. He and his fellow players all said they'd never seen anything like it before, it was in an arched shape.
