Bell shaped Cloud appears over Indian city, three smaller ones appear below it, they all merge together forming a bright orange ballIt was a hot Indian summer evening. My girlfriend, Her two brothers and I had come back to her home about 8.30 pm after swimming at the club pool. We joined her parents and an older sister on their front lawn drinking lemonade. Her Dad was a retired LT.Col from the Indian Army and a Japanese prisoner of war. At about 9.00pm one of her brothers points out "Look at that funny shaped cloud forming". We all looked up and over their house at an angle of about 45deg a Church bell shaped cloud was forming. It would have been about 2-3000 ft altitude and lit by the city lights. There was no other cloud in the sky. WE would have been looking south and the final size of the bell shaped cloud would have been 3-4cm across at arms lenght. The domestic Airport would have been south west and as the crow flies about 10km away. IT did not move or appear to be effected by high wind as clouds are. We all soon caried on with our conversation till a few minutes later the brother breaks in saying "look what the cloud is doing now". WE all look up again and just below the bell shaped cloud three smaller clouds form, all bell shabed, evenly spaced, and about half the size of the origional.They formed a equilateral triangle shape in the sky. Soon the three smaller clouds merged with the large one, formed a bright orange ball, bright enough to throw a shadow of the roof near us. IT shot off at great speed downwards towards the Airport with no sound and when it seemed above the Airport to us it excelerated up wards splitting into four smaller orange balls of light vanishing into the night sky. WE were all spellbound. We were sure it was a UFO. There is a funny feeling you get when you witness a UFO which no other strange event will give you. The local News paper reported the event the next morning. " Strange lights seen over City". The following day the same paper reports " Army said they were testing new rockets"..WHAT OVER A MAJOR CITY? They could have done better than that!!!! A small foot note, a very close fam! ily friend worked at the Airport as an electrical engeneer servicing the A300Airbus aircraft and was on duty that very night. He told us that roumour was the controll tower had the craft on radar for about 1/2 an hour!
