At 20:10 I picked up a takeaway and decided to drive through the street I live en route to my girlfriend's house. We've had a bit of snow fall in the area recently and as there were no clouds, the sky appeared a little lighter than usual. As I approached the street I live in I noticed a large orangeish ball of light in the distance moving left to right (NW to NE) before I even got to my house the object changed course to south and such an angle, it would be too sharp a turn for a standard helicopter.This freaked me out so much I sped to my house where I quickly got out an rushed inside to get my mother to come see. She was annoyed thinking I was exaggerating. However as soon as she stepped foot outside she was silent. This sphere-like object was not only now travelling in a straight line at a constant speed approximately 20-30 degrees above the horizon but it also was spinning changing colour to blue and white. The eerie thing was there was no sound?! It was then I took my iPhone out and attempted to film it. As with all sightings, the footage is very poor quality but you can tell by how much I was freaked out by this by my hand shaking on the camera. The object was not moving in all directions. It was a straight line.I posted the video on Facebook where someone commented they had seen it on it's flightpath south of my location.I've seen a few documentaries in my time and am aware what a weather balloon can look like. This looked nothing like it.The fact that it was going in such a straight line suggests it was controlled ruling out a lantern as well.Logically I would think it must be a helicopter/drone. I am aware there have been a lot of helicopters flying over in the past with the search light on so I know what that looks like. This was at least 3 x bigger than a helicopter could be and too close to be a plane. Drones are relatively small so I'm not even going to consider this, but like I said earlier there was no sound so it was definitely not one of these.I am seriously freaked out by this so would love to know exactly what this was...Any thoughts??
