Seen 7 April - 10 April and again tonight, 14 April. In west sky, lower than cloud base - no stars visible on second night. Appears around 9 - 9.30pm, disappears/out of view around 11.30pm. Moves across a small section of sky from west to wnw. Bright light seen with eyes. With low mag binoculars is always 2 lights/objects. Larger object is spherical most of time. Almost looks like a ball of plasma or electrical discharges, but sometimes rotates and appears plate like. White internally with faint red to rim. Sometimes splits across ball horizontally so appears almost like a 'pacman' shape with sky behind, clearly visible at split. Not solid object or light. Constantly pulsing and electric discharge appearance, writhing, outside edge sometimes distorts in to random shapes. Sometimes gentle pulsing discharges, other times very rapid changes. Circular clear areas appear within larger body and move randomly across circle, almost popping away. Plasma appearance at all times. Second object is independent of first. Much smaller but clearly visible. Brighter more intense light than other object. Seems to move around perimeter of other object at varying distances away. On odd occasions has crossed directly across larger object or through it. Light is yellow, red, white. Changes shape from circular, to holly leaf, to jelly fish with trailing white strands below, to rocket ice lolly shape with trailing white lights from base. Again doesn't appear solid. Varies in size but always smaller. Has appeared as a small version of large object for a short period. First night both objects faded out to nothing over about 2 seconds. Had reappeared further across sky when looked again about 20 minutes later. Much larger than visible stars, seem quite low level but can't tell height/size. Have been in same area of sky for all 5 nights but saw similar end of sept. 2022 in NE night sky. The second object on this occasion was a ball of yellow red light which kept zig zagging very rapidly, leaving a white light ww shape in sky. The plasma type larger plate object was also present. All seen by 2 of us over a prolonged period for all 5 nights. Not seen on rainy nights but was there on the night there was no rain but low cloud base.
