@TwilightDerbyshire the formation vs scattered distinction matters a lot actually. Random scattered lights could be anything - military flares, drones, the usual suspects.
@BrandonBanshee @bolshy_fox That's all very funny but the name itself is worth looking into properly.
@KenjiRelic is right, we need the specifics before anyone can start guessing. What colour were the lights, how long did it hold position, and did it move off suddenly or just sort of drift away?
Fair enough, these things need doing. Just hope it's back up before Sunday morning because that's when I usually catch up on threads with a brew and a couple of hours to spare.
One thing I'll say...
Three nights in a row is the detail that gets me. One night you can chalk up to anything - pipes, a mouse, your own tired brain playing tricks.
@quinn_volkov the east wing specifically is interesting, because that's where the long-term ward was according to the old floor plans I dug up a few years back.
Never been to Millbrook myself, being based over here in Somerset, but I've done enough long haul runs through upstate New York back in the 80s and 90s to know that stretch of country has a...

Fair enough, these things need doing. Saturday night's not ideal timing for me personally as I usually do my weekly re-read of the Paulides missing persons cases with a brew but I can work around...
Drove past Blythburgh dozens of times on the A12 back in the day, never stopped. Kicked myself for that later when I started looking into this properly.
The height point @SecretIncubus raised is...
Spent 30-odd years driving through the night on routes all across England and Wales and I'll tell you, you see things in your headlights that the daylight crowd never get to witness.
@JumpyNomad had that happen to me years back, lost a long post about a roadside MIB encounter I'd written up properly with all the details.
Been driving through the Highlands more times than I can count, mostly on overnight runs back in the 80s and 90s.
@dozy_badger sounds like that post got cut off mid-sentence - technical gremlins already starting early, ha.
Know the frustration though.
