On Sunday, September 18, my girlfriend returned to Edinburgh from the Czech Republic. As soon as we met at the airport at 14: 00, she excitedly told me that she saw something very suspicious on the plane as her flight was approaching the north-east coast of the UK at about 13: 00 (she landed at the airport at 13: 41). 

Right in the sea, she noticed from 5 to 7 orange round objects… I give the story in her own words… When she told me, I checked online to see if there were any other similar messages in the same region and around at the same time…

Needless to say, I was thrilled when I read the reports, also coming from the east of England, about multiple orange discs on the 17th, the day before I spotted my girlfriend. Do you know if anyone else witnessed her appearance on September 18?

 My friend's report:

"On September 18, I was flying from Prague to Edinburgh. The sky tightened somewhere over the Netherlands. Over the English Channel, the clouds broke a little. I felt sleepy because I had to get up at 4 a.m. that morning, and I didn't sleep well at night. And looking only at the clouds after a while became a little boring. 

Also my seat was by the window, but next to the fender, so the fender and the engine took up a lot of space. If I wanted to see something, I had to lean forward and look out the far window. So it was only occasionally that I looked to see if we were still over the continent, over the sea, or approaching Britain. 

Then around 13: 00 (GST) I looked out again and saw that we were still over the sea. There was a gap between the clouds, so I could see the sea. Down, deep below me, I could see some round orange things. They were like round rubber lifeboats at sea. There were 7 of them. They seemed to be floating on the surface of the sea. 

They moved slowly, and then, as the leftmost circle took its position, I noticed that they had created a perfect boomerang-shaped formation. This caught my attention. Forming a formation, they were moving quite quickly towards something so large in the sea. 

I could have sworn that they were a little scattered at first, but now they gave the impression of a single body. The formation was so perfect. I started thinking about the invisible delta plane, and really, apart from the orange spots, I couldn't see anything in between. Was it military training? 

I tried to get a better look to determine what it was, but suddenly two white clouds burst out of the two circles like an explosion, and the entire formation, as one body, moved forward with great acceleration, leaving only two short white double lines behind. The lines were short, almost twice the size of a triangle. Like a spaceship, gaining speed only from a short fire. 

At high speed, the entire structure disappeared under a cloud, and I had the feeling that it wanted to hide so that it wouldn't be seen. I hoped it would come out on the other side of the big cloud before the engine and wing blocked my view, but it didn't.

 After the cloud, I saw the ship, it looked big, at least like a ferry, and maybe even bigger. And yet the length of the ship would be about two-thirds of the side of the boomerang. And the circles were a little larger in diameter than the ship's width. So the object must have been huge. 

Shortly after we approached the east coast of the UK and at 13.40 we landed at Edinburgh Airport."

Summary: On sunday 18th September, my girlfriend returned to Edinburgh from the Czech Republic. As soon as we met at the airport at 2pm, she excitedly told me, she saw something very dodgy from the plane as her flight was coming into the north eastern coastline of the UK at approx 1pm (she landed at the airport at 13:41). Just out at sea she spotted between 5 to 7 orange round objects…I have below the story in her own words… When she told me, I checked on the Net to see if there were any other similar reports in the same region and around the same time…Needless to say, I was excited to read of the reports also coming from the east of England of multiple orange discs on the 17th, the previous day to my girlfriend’s sighting. Do you know if anyone else also witnessed her sighting on the 18th September? My Girlfriend’s report…… “On 18th September I was flying from Prague to Edinburgh. The sky got cloudy somewhere over the Netherlands. Over the Channel the clouds were a bit torn. I felt sleepy as I had to get up at 4am that morning and didn’t get to sleep too well at night. And seeing just clouds became a bit boring after a while. Also my seat was at the window but near the wing, so the wing and the engine took a lot of my view. If I wanted to see something, I had to lean forward and look out of the farther window. So only occasionaly I looked out to see if we are still over the continent or over the sea or approaching Britain. Then around 1pm (GST) I looked out again and saw we were still over the sea. There was a gap between clouds so I could see the sea. Down, deep under me I could see some round orange things. They looked like round rubber life boats on the sea. There were 7 of them. They seemed to be floating on the sea surface. They were moving slowly and then when the left most circle got into its position, I noticed that they created a perfect boomerang shaped formation. That attracted my attention. Creating the formation, they were moving quite fast for something that big on the sea. I could swear that at the beginning they were a bit scattered but now they were very much giving an impression of a single body. That perfect the formation was. I started thinking of an invisible delta aircraft and really, apart from the orange spots I couldn’t see anything between them. Was it a military training? I tried to have a better look to identify what it was but suddenly there were two white clouds bursting out of two of the circles like an explosion and all the formation, like one body, moved forward with great acceleration leaving just two short white double lines behind. The lines were short, just about double the height of the triangle. As a space craft getting enough speed just from a short fire. At high speed all the formation disappeared under the cloud and I had the feeling that it wanted to hide, not to be seen. I hoped that it would come out on the other side of the large cloud before the engine and the wing cover my view, but it didn’t. After the cloud I saw a ship, looked big, at least like a ferry, maybe bigger. And still the length of the ship would make only about two thirds of the side of the boomerang. And the circles were slightly bigger in diameter than the width of the ship. So the object must have been huge. Soon after we approached the East coast of Britain and 1.40pm we were landing at the Edinburgh airport.”
