Orange Lights above Glasgow

[Solidstone]

Hi all,

I'm usually a total sceptic but I've decided to register on here to ask the question.

Last night around 1900hrs my wife and I watched with amazement a large orange ball move across the sky west to east for approx 2-3 mins. I live near Glasgow Airport, have done for many many years, so I know what's a plane, a helicopter or anything else for that matter including chinese lanterns. My wife, even a bigger sceptic than me, then watched with me in further amazement as it disappeared behind a cloud. 10 mins later, 2 very large orange glows , one several feet above the other sat in the sky, again north west of Glasgow. Then disappeared!

Now the one thing in all of this is the height the were up. Last night was pretty clear skies over Glasgow and you can usually judge height based on many planes I see from my local area. The first orange light was extremely high indeed and at first I thought it was an asteroid or shooting star except the speed of it while still moving fast appeared to be controlled. I thought of everything, then thought to Google and noticed these sightings in Glasgow have been going on for a while!

Can anybody advise what this all about?As a sceptic I assume there is a reasonable solution to what my wife and I witnessed.

Hi Solidstone,

Welcome to our forum. :)

We recommend all new members to post an introduction in the Newbies section telling us a bit about themselves, and how they found their way here. Have a read through that section to get an idea of how others have done it. Thanks.

Hi Solidstone,

As you might imagine, it is difficult to give any cut and dried response to your question. Many members of the forum are former sceptics when it comes to UFOs, but we have learned that there is something up there. Whether or not the light you saw is one of those 'somethings', I can't say.

If you want to learn more on the subject, the books by John Keel are a great place to start. His conclusion after years of looking into UFO sightings was that they were manifestations from some other reality -- what we call hyperdimensional reality. They weren't spaceships from other planets in the popular sense.

Some of Keel's books include The Mothman Prophecies, The Haunted Planet, The Eight Tower, and UFO's: Operation Trojan Horse.

I would say that the working hypothesis that a certain number of these unexplained sightings are manifestations of a higher reality, what we call 4D or 4th density, is currently the most fruitful. But if you are coming from a sceptical background, it can be a bit difficult to wrap your head around it and the implications! :D

If you browse around the forum, you'll find a lot of discussion about these types of sightings. Check out the board The UFO Phenomena.

I am curious as to why you came here to ask your question? Did you know of our work before the sighting?

Hi Solidstone,

Welcome to the forum. If you look at Our Haunted Planet on Sott.net you will find many sightings of the same type of object you saw. It is funny how after the first few sightings of these objects, all of a sudden there was a run on Chinese lanterns :D Then, recently there was a man who has a huge orange balloon with lights on it that is somehow remote controlled that they are trying to get us to believe is the source of some of these sightings.

But, it seems to me that there are far too many of these sightings, in a lot of different places for them all to be Chinese lanterns or whatever someone has come up with as the answer. People are seeing all kinds of stuff out there and as Galahad said, they could be from other dimensions/densities/realities.

And, as Galahad asked, I, too, am wondering why you chose this forum to ask this question. We are always curious how new people find us. ;)

Hello Solidstone.

I believe, and I hope you appreciate the point, that the time for skepticism in these matters is over. Skepticism is an ego response.
It wants to protect itself and its established belief system. It seems that the Northern Hemisphere is having a lot of fun lately. The Moscow halo was the first shock. This was followed by the very interesting phenomena in Norway. A perfect spiral appeared in the sky accompanied and co-joined with a second spiral which terminated somewhere on the earth. As an atmospheric physics layman I was very interested in this phenomena. It was claimed by skeptics that this had been a failed missile test. This explanation is quite ridiculous. Examine any video footage of failed missile tests and a reasonable person would have to conclude that the Norway incident was not a failed missile test. Interesting that the Cassiopaeans claim that the wave is approaching our region in a spiral trajectory. Are these two events related? BTW shortly after the Norway incident parts of Europe went into a snap freeze.

Hi wanderer33,

The C's answered in the session quoted below that it was a failed missile but what was unusual was the atmosphere. You can read the entire session here. :)

(Joe) What about the missile test earlier this month that was allegedly by the Russian navy that was seen over Norway. Was it a missile?

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) A normal, run of the mill, standard missile?

A: Yes. What was not normal was the atmosphere.

Q: (Anart) That's from dust from incoming rocks or debris.

A: Yes

 

[wanderer33]

A missile creating two spirals, one coloured and descending , one perfect and not moving either up or down, becoming a visible hole in the atmosphere. With the still images taken at various angles and the film, they would have a good clue where it would land, yet no debri found. I'd ask them again.

Hi Solidstone,

There must have been a run of them last night. My husband and I and his nephew all witnessed one last night in S.E London about 7ish. We stopped the car, got out and watched it for about 5 mins before it disappeared in the cloud cover, which was pretty high last night.

It made no sound, travelled a very steady path and was a bright orange ball. I can't help you with a definitive answer as to what it was but it certainly wasn't the weather for Chinese lanterns here. It was cold, wet and windy and this orange ball wasn't affected by any of the adverse weather conditions.

I wonder if there were anymore sightings around the UK last night?

Perhaps you could simply consider that you're mistaken on this one? Such spirals have been in evidence in several other places on the globe with missile tests as well.

Hi all,

Thank you for you replies to my question. However, it is clear that no one truly has an answer although the event itself has increased my curiosity to watch the skies at night more often.
Regarding this site, for those who asked what brought me to this particular one, I had Googled the topic question re 'orange lights in the Glasgow sky' and a large number of entries were evident amongst the listings. I subsequently clicked on one, possibly the first or second actually listed and the guy on that particular listing talked about the lights and appeared to be a member of this site as well. So here I am. I had to register to ask the question and not being one to give up the ghost so to speak, I put the question out there.

I am very much the type of person who is convinced by witnessing more extraordinary events with my own eyes. Doesn't mean I don't believe in something though! I have seen many things with my own eyes that many a true sceptic would say is not possible. I dare say that comment in itself contradicts my initial use of the word 'sceptic' on my opening question.

Well, there was the suggestion about the missile and the atmosphere, but I am guessing that you mean that there is no solid evidence to support that yet. If you had the inclination, it might be worth some time to follow up and see if there are conditions under which this phenomenon would occur under the conditions stated, and look into whether or not there are other examples, as anart alludes to above. This is the general approach taken to the C's information -- it is nice to be given some direction, but then comes the hard work where you try to see whether or not the data supports the hypothesis.

It is good to have a healthy amount of skepticism, in order to maintain objectivity. It is also reasonable to be convinced only when you find actual data -- sometimes that can take some digging, and sometimes some patience as well. I think you are in good shape if you are willing to invest energy in pursuing various approaches to a problem (as you did by registering and inquiring here, for example) while doing your best to remain objective -- not being unrealistically open-minded nor unrealistically closed-minded, and paying close attention to the facts that you find until something falls into place.

I actually think Solidstone was referring to the orange lights he witnessed (though I could be mistaken), and I think he's right, no one does truly have an answer at this point in time.

No, you're right anart, I got the two mixed up when I was reading through the thread earlier (I should read the title of the thread! ). Sorry for the confusion, and as far as the orange lights that Solidstone asked about, you're right, there is no answer for now.
