After reading your article "More sightings of the orange UFO" (6 August), I thought that I would write in and explain exactly what we had seen.

I happened to take my dog on our usual evening walk, along with my kids. The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight; the time would have been around 10.30-11.30pm. I saw a bright, clear light in the air and said to my daughter "That's a bright star", and she looked at me and said that it wasn't a star it was something else. We were debating on what it could be and couldn't take our focus off it.

This 'thing' was like a government spy object/craft. It was still with bright lights on it. It wasn't moving, just hovering in the air, as if it was looking down somewhere, spying on someone or something. It definitely wasn't a helicopter or aeroplane; it just remained in one spot, very motionless, not a sound or anything.

This was interesting, as we all just couldn't figure out what it was; we couldn't take our eyes off it. As we are always curious about UFOs this seemed something like that.

After observing for about ten minutes it slowly came forward towards our direction. Again no noise, just so quiet. It wasn't so high in the sky, so you could see it. It was spectacular as it moved away, so quiet in the thin air.

On our way back home we kept looking high, for possible signs of where it went and saw it moving slowly away, this time quite high up. As before it just swiftly, quietly vanished, without any further sighting. We saw it again the next night at 10.30pm.

I don't, for once, think it's a UFO, but a strong possibility of some sort of spy gadget, with full access ground remote control use it would target an area, person or something linked to gathering intelligence information.

I think these objects are clearly man-controlled only to confuse the already gullible mind control public into believing it's a UFO, and yet it isn't what the naked eye sees, it's what it believes.

It's so sophisticated, the actual people behind the whole thing remain quiet, and out of public light, so as though they don't exist, making us all fools.
