Right, so I've been doing this UAP thing for ages now and always came away with bugger all except some blurry phone videos that look like pigeons. Last month I invested in a proper telescope with a decent camera mount (nothing mental, about £240 from Currys) and finally got something worth showing.

Saw three distinct objects moving in formation over the Yorkshire moors near Hebden Bridge on the 14th around 22:45. Clear night, decent visibility. They moved at a steady speed, then one suddenly changed direction at about 90 degrees. No sound. The whole thing lasted maybe two minutes before they disappeared behind a ridge.

I'm not saying it's aliens, but it wasn't a drone. The movement was too fluid. Anyway, I thought I'd share my setup in case anyone else is trying to move past the "is that a plane?" stage. Happy to answer questions about the equipment.

Mate, this is exactly what I've been banging on about! Everyone uses their rubbish mobile phone camera and then gets annoyed when they can't prove anything. What telescope are you using specifically? And did you get any stills or just video?

Could've been Chinese lanterns? I'm not being a dick, genuinely asking. The formation flying is interesting though. Where did you get the camera mount sorted?

Did you report this to any official channels? Just wondering because I've heard some people have had their data flagged or something. Probably paranoia but thought I'd ask.

Hebden Bridge eh? That whole area's a hotspot. My nan lived there in the 70s and always said she saw weird stuff in the sky. Have you noticed any patterns with timing or weather conditions? Asking because I'm trying to work out if there's a correlation with solar activity or something.
