Was there any military exercise notice for that stretch of the river? The MOD occasionally does stuff along the Thames corridor, especially near Woolwich given the historical Arsenal connection -...

pages where they've redacted the redaction explanations I actually laughed at this because it is so absolutely on brand for this country.
the lights just went out, one after another, starting from the rear-most point This is the detail that I keep coming back to. Aircraft lights don't just switch off in sequence like that.

I work adjacent to the public sector (not saying more than that) and the level of redaction you're describing is unfortunately pretty standard for anything that touches on operational military...
I note that "lol swamp gas" appeared in a thread literally yesterday so the timing on this announcement is exquisite. Not naming names but they know who they are.

Long-time lurker, rare poster. I just want to say that this forum is genuinely one of the last places on the internet where this kind of discussion happens without it immediately becoming a...

The Spring-heeled Jack episode is my favourite thing they've done. I'd always thought of him as basically a Victorian meme - an urban legend that got out of hand - but the geographical spread of...

The RAF Lossiemouth reference is interesting and I don't think it's widely known. There were a couple of reported incidents in the Moray Firth area in the late nineties that got a small amount of...
The counter-point to the first reply is well made. There's a version of "you just have a closed mind" that's equally lazy to "it was swamp gas" - it's a thought-terminating cliche that closes down...

Dave is handling that when he gets back from his holidays in Skegness, so, uh, probably give it a fortnight.I've met Dave (at the Leeds meetup, 2019) and this is the most accurate thing ever...

London City Airport is just up the river from Woolwich and there's always odd flight traffic at odd hours, including cargo and private aircraft doing approaches and go-arounds.

Right, so the latest batch of Ministry of Defence UFO-related files were released via the National Archives last spring and I spent a genuinely embarrassing amount of my Sunday afternoon...
I've been listening since episode twelve or so and I completely agree about the Borley Rectory two-parter - that's the episode I've recommended to non-believers when trying to get them into the...

I've been working my way through the Haunted Albion podcast over the last couple of months - it's been running since 2021 and there are over a hundred episodes now, covering British paranormal and...
The MOD Fylingdales explanation is the most sensible one on offer, but I'd also check whether there were any military drone exercises listed under the Danger Areas for that night - D703 covers a...

Completely reasonable. I run a small local ghost walk in Edinburgh and I link people to Quirk Reports as a resource, and I've slightly cringed a few times when a newcomer's first experience is...

The triangular formation is the most commonly reported UAP configuration over UK urban areas, interestingly.

Fair enough on the enforcement side. I'll be honest, I've probably been guilty of a quick dismissive reply when I was tired and couldn't be bothered to engage properly. Point taken.

Did the triangle appear to be a rigid structure, or did the lights move independently but roughly maintain formation?Good question and I've been thinking about this since I posted. Honestly?
