My wife and I were attempting to watch the Lyrid Meteor shower on the night of April 22 around 11:30 from our home in the direction of the area between Stourport and Kidderminster 2.5 miles distant. Our home is on a hill (ele. 354). I saw and heard a helicopter moving into my field of view from the south moving due north towards what I thought was a very bright copper/gold star about 10 degrees above the horizon NE in our view. As the chopper approached the direct point where the light was, it suddenly turned red, veered north then shot up very fast..almost too quickly to see..to a point in the sky directly above 52.21.56.91N and 2.14.36.38W where it them split into two separate lights, each reddish orange...one moving south for two seconds then stopping and appearing as a still star in the night and the second object continuing to cross the entire sky till it was NW of my home in the sky where it too then slowed and stopped. The objects just sat there and did not move after that but the helicopter continued to circle the area in a counterclockwise search pattern for almost an hour till it then moved on to the North...I did not stay up to watch for it to return back south, the direction it first came from.I called the Local Police the next day and asked about the incident and was told they could not tell me about it because of "data protection". My name and address were taken by the officer and I was told nothing more.
