Right, so I've been living near Bodmin for about five years and I'm not usually the type to report weird stuff, but this is the third time in four weeks I've seen genuinely odd lights over the moor. Thought I'd document it properly in case anyone else is seeing similar activity.
Sighting 1 (Oct 12): Around 9:30pm, clear night, saw what looked like a bright orange ball moving slowly across the sky from northeast to southwest. Lasted about two minutes, then just vanished. No sound, no aircraft lights visible. Saw it from my back garden near Blisland.
Sighting 2 (Oct 28): Similar timeframe, around 10pm. This one was different - white light, more stationary, hovering about 200 feet up I'd guess. Moved in patterns that seemed deliberate rather than random drift. Watched it for about four minutes before clouds rolled in.
Sighting 3 (Oct 31): Three separate lights in a triangular formation, moving too slowly to be conventional aircraft, too fast to be balloons. Bit spooky being Halloween and all, but genuinely unexplained.
I've checked the RAF Davidstow flight paths, weather balloons, that sort of thing. Nothing accounts for these. Has anyone else in Cornwall been seeing this? I'm planning to do some proper monitoring with a camera on my property - wondering if I should report it anywhere official?
