On Wednesday night when walking home from work I was struck by this huge oval, rugby ball shaped object hovering in the sky. It had plenty of strobe lights in red/orange and green.
For some reason, I reasoned that it couldn't possibly be a UFO because it was so gigantic, so strange looking, and it hovered for so long (I could see it throughout my journey home that lasts 20m) that it seemed somewhat too obvious for it to be a UFO. Don't ask me why I thought that.
So I discarded the hypothesis.
Still, the idea kept bugging me as I've never seen anything like that, so today I made a search on "oval shaped flying objects" and came across a UK page for UFO reports where 3 witnesses, all of them living within the area I live, reported the same UFO (oval shaped and strobe lights), on the same evening I had my sighting.
Here is the first from the three reports taken from _http://www.uk-ufo.co.uk
Another also in East London on that same evening:
And one more from further east:
What I saw seems to be exactly the same these three witnesses described, so I'm now tending towards the hypothesis that it was indeed a UFO. I suppose that the gigantic size and low altitude puzzled me.
Why didn't I care to learn how to operate the camera on my mobile phone before...

It had a bright white light and a red light ,it made no sound and was hovering.it deffo wasn't a plane.lost sight of it when it went somewhere over elm park.
What I saw seems to be exactly the same these three witnesses described, so I'm now tending towards the hypothesis that it was indeed a UFO. I suppose that the gigantic size and low altitude puzzled me.
