Boston, Lincolnshire-Bright Circular LightI had been skating from around 20:40-00:30 last night with two friends. Just before we packed up for the night we noticed a white light in the sky, half the size of the moon which may have been pulsating. I know for certain that we saw this light at 00:14 as I took 6 photos of it on my phone and the photos are dated 00:14-00:15 31/01/2010, none of the photos appear to show anything special, although when put in negative three of the six photos show a small dark circle (my phones camera is only 2.0 MegaPixels).I first noticed the light while sitting down. I was tired from all the skating, so was laid back on a bench outside the TK Maxx store looking up at the sky and saw it 'float' into the corner of my eye. It was high in the sky, probably 20 thousand feet up and just stayed in the same spot for nearly a minute. Both of my friends saw it. At the very end it took off and went right over the town very quickly. That was the last we saw of it.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))
