Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

09.04.2011 00:50

Location:

Хаутен

Netherlands

The witness observed three red ball.

They were slightly to the left from the South (we have a compass) from Houten about 00:50 in the night from Friday to Saturday 9 April 2011. By the way, it seemed that they were (much) further than Houten (in South direction ) because they were not large and with binoculars they could not be much more.
Flash in the shape of the letter L:

1 scope at the top of the long side of the L,

1 in the corner

1 at the end of the short side of the L.

The formation flew from left to right with the South. The form in which they flew, changed from L shape to a V shape (sphere on the short side went up).

We watched for about 30 seconds. Then the objects disappeared one by one.
Also observed through binoculars. No additional lights, in order to compare with the aircraft.

When the sphere disappeared, they seemed to fly over the cloud (slowly of ischezajut).

Have no idea what it could be. I believe that the aircraft is unlikely due to the amount of colored lights and missing lights on the wings.

Perhaps this is flying Chinese lanterns or UFOs.

Original news

HOUTEN, UT — Drie rode bollen. Gesignaleerd iets links van het zuiden (we hebben een kompas) vanuit Houten rond 00:50 uur in de nacht van vrijdag 8 op zaterdag 9 april 2011. Het leek er overigens op alsof ze (veel) verder weg dan Houten waren (in zuidelijke richting) want ze waren niet groot en met een verrekijker ook niet veel groter te krijgen.
Vlogen in een L-vorm: 1 bol bovenaan de lange kant van de L, 1 in de hoek en 1 aan het einde van de korte kant van de L. Vlogen van links van het zuiden richting zuiden. Vorm waarin ze vlogen wijzigde van L vorm naar een V vorm (de bol aan de korte kant ging omhoog). Ongeveer 30 seconden bekeken. Toen verdwenen de bollen één voor één.
Ook bekeken door een verrekijker. Geen extra lichten te zien zoals bij een vliegtuig. Bij het verdwijnen van een bol leek het erop alsof ze achter een wolk vlogen (langzaam vager en toen weg).
Geen idee wat het kan zijn geweest. Vliegtuig acht ik onwaarschijnlijk ivm aantal, afwijkende kleur lichten en ontbrekende vleugellichten. Mogelijk 3 van die vliegende Chinese lampionnen of UFO's.
