It was 8.35 bst. wednesday 2nd october, that i was smoking a cigarette at my door. it was a completely clear night. i could see the red and green port/starboard lights of commercial aircraft perfectly clearly. this object came in (from what i percieve) from the sw. at incredible speed, just slower than a shooting star. it even seemed to have a small trail? i had a fraction of a second to think, "what's that?" when it came to a dead stop. with no gratual deceleration. it was top speed to nothing instantly. at that point, i noticed the circular lights underneath, that my camera phone doesn't show. then it started a steady movement again. (at which point i'm managing to film) and arched out to the se. there was no noise from it, i'm not able to ascertain height or size. the whole thing didn't last more than a minute. the 3 lights under it were circular. but in a triangular shape.
