Bit late to this thread but I've been following it closely. I'm based in Herefordshire so obviously wasn't there personally, but I've been cross-referencing what you lot are describing with some abduction accounts I've been looking into from the Great Lakes region over the past decade or so.
Quick question for the people who actually witnessed it - did the lights move in total silence? And was there any gap between the visual and any sound, or just nothing at all? The reason I ask is that a couple of accounts I've read from that area specifically mention a kind of pressure sensation in the ears right before a sighting, almost like the air changes. Nobody seems to talk about that bit much and I want to know if thats consistent with what happened Thursday.
Also did anyone feel anything physically during or after? Headache, nausea, anything like that? Not trying to jump straight to abduction territory but the pattern here is genuinely interesting to me.
