Weird discoball like things flying above the NetherlandsThis is a string of events but I'll be referencing to the latest 'sighting' since it is the most recent, and memorable. As it happened a few minutes ago.Also the reason I'm writing this. Because I had an uncanny thing happen that made me think twice. I'd still explain the first sighting I saw which happened around 15 January 2016, 20:00~ And is probably the most special one, apart from my own experience with the latest sighting.I went outside to get some water from the car. I have bottles of water stored in the car. When I need to get some bottles I simply walk to the car. It stays cold that way and I don't have to bring them inside, heat them up unnecessary refrigerate them again ect. When I wanted to open the backside of the car I took a second to look into the sky and I saw so many stars. The longer I looked the more stars I could see. This is an unfamiliar sight to me. But the sky was very clear this day.At this moment I suddenly saw something moving in the sky, it had a bright white and red flashing light to it. A plane I first thought, obviously. However it was on a very strange attitude. It seemed much lower than a normal aircraft. It was hard for me to pin down mentally at that moment at what kind of attitude it was flying. There was just something uncanny about it. I can't quite put it to words what it was.At this moment, which was maybe 10 seconds after I had initially looked into the sky I noticed another 'thing' in the sky. It was exactly the same just at a different location in the sky. They were flying towards each other and I kept looking cause I thought they would collide. They seemed to fly past each other though. After that I saw another one, and then another one, and another one. I saw at least 5, across the sky. Before I stopped looking. They seemed to be flying symmetrical of each other. And all moved at a constant speed.Although I was confused about what I saw, I didn't think too much of it.3 Days later I was laying on my bed watching a movie. In the corner of my eyes I can see my window. (In the attic) It was around 3AM when a very bright light caught my eye. I instantly recognized it from my earlier encounter. I walked over to the window to look at it.This time I could see much clearer what I saw. It was much closer. (I've been here for years and I've never seen a plane or flying object like this before) It was flying on a very low attitude compared to air planes. However there was no sound to be heard at all. It was flying in a straight line and kept going until it would disappear in the horizon. There was only one that I could see at this time.Now what makes me write this report is because something really weird happened while I was watching it fly away into the horizon; it suddenly moved mid air like a gyroscope. This really send chills trough my spine because at this point I realised I've either gone crazy or seen something that to me is definitely a unidentifiable flying object.A description of how it looked is as followed: It had a constant dull red light at the back side. (Back side being the opposite direction it was moving towards). A red strobing bright light at the front. And 2 or 3 bright white flickering/strobing lights at the back.Do note that these lights also were very uncanny. Very bright.While writing this I've seen it fly by another few times on the same path around 3 times, within an hour.I'm not claiming I saw something extra terrestrial or something. Or anything special at all. I just can't explain what I saw that's all I know. Perhaps they were drones from the local government scanning the area, or whatever. I don't know.But someone linked me to this page so that's why I'm writing this.If this turned out to be something obvious explainable to you, that's fine. like a new airliner trajectory or something. I'm not here for any drama. I just want to know what it is.PS: I checked animals responded because for some reasons all the birds in a local park started screaming a few times this night. This happens when they are disturbed. I know because sometimes I light fireworks there and the same thing happens.Not saying it is related, but just letting you know.Also a weird strange humming sound in the sky the last few days. Across the country actually. But when I saw the thing I didn't hear nothing. Still letting you know though.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides little contact information.
