Orb-like objects travelling across the sky followed by flashes of light.We were lying down looking up when we both saw an orb-like object, very high up (In the of Venus), travelling across the sky, it eventually paused and then hung there, and disappeared. Then we noticed another smaller,(or perhaps further) moving across to where the first one had departed from. Then another moved from the same area outwards in another direction, eventually lighting up a large area before disappearing. It became misty for about 30 minutes after which I saw a large and incredibly bright deliberate looking flash in the area of departure of all three preceding objects, alerting my companion who had missed it to look, we were fortunate to see the light again. My companion observed that it appeared green in colour. The first three objects appeared as orbs rather than discs, quite unlike any preconceived shapes that we may have expected.
