What’s that bright light in the sky, above London? UFO??

Look, see it? Quite high, about SWish.

It’s moving very slowly. I don’t have owt powerful enough to zoom in on it. Anyone out there with something to get a look at it? Or have any idea what it is? It’s been there for some time, now.

Sattelite? Bit too slow, I think. Comet? Planet?

Bloody Martians trying to bypass immigration??

Quick; it’s clouding up a bit.

Iranian satellite??

Come on! I’m panicking!!!

I don’t want them to come and stick probes in my bottom.

Are you experiencing a strong urge to make a mountain out mashed potato ?

😯

No, look! I’m not making it up. Go outside and have a butchers; it’s bloody bright!

Thought it was a plane at first, but it moved too slowly.

AWAC?

International Space Station?

oh, perhaps not.

media crew from Canada checking out the grim weather – it’ll be the funny 30second slot at the end of their news

they’ve come to take you back?

Police helicopter?

You lot are just taking the piss. I ask a sensible question, and what do I get? A load of bloody nonsense.
🙁

You tw4t – you’ve made go outside and it’s bleedin freezing out there 😯

And no, there’s fukkall out there 😕

Look! It’s up there!

Or is Croydon under permanent cloud?

It’s heading towards Swindon. Probbly going to land in the Woods Behind Nationwide….

Christ it’s freezing out there 😯 ……. well yeah there was something -lots of lights on it, but diff some sort of aircraft.

It’s inexorably slowly moving West. Just one bright light.

Can’t be any normal aircraft; it’s been there for ages. Even a plane really high up wouldn’t be moving that slowly, indicating it is perhaps some distance from Earth.

i know something else thats some distance from the earth 😯

Youse lot will be sorry, when they take over your foolish doubting minds.

And then it’ll be too late!

I’ll be ok, though, ‘cos they’ll recognise superior intelligence.

Ah well, not what I saw then. What I saw had lots of lights on it and was moving at a reasonable speed.

Of course it might of been on it’s way to the Mother-ship – which apparently is parked up somewhere above you…..

Is it a Chain Reaction billboard ? Can’t quite make out the writing.

I think Robbie Williams had his removal men working about that time;

Blimp.

OI! That’s marvelous, that, in’t it? I’m getting called ‘fatty’, now!

You bunch of Heathen infidels!

lol

One single bright light? Are there any clouds? What directions are the clouds moving in?

You might just be seeing venus and be fooled into thinking it’s moving West?

Venus, you say (first actual intelligent, possibly helpful response)? I dunno. It’s definitely ‘moved’ westwards. Disappeared now, as some cloud has come in.

It was there, I tell you…

I reckon it be a blimp.

I am not going to go out in the cold and look however. I shall send my gentleman’s gentleman out to have a look.

In the meantime, I leave you with this;

Venus, you say (first actual intelligent, possibly helpful response)?

Oh so a blimp isn’t possible then.

Blimp wooduv had more lights on’t. And this thing has taken over an hour, to move just a few degrees across the sky.

(RudeBoy realises that without proof, people will think him to be a mentalist…)

WGAF about laandin?

😉

The Carpenters said,

‘Interplanetary most extraordinary craft’

Errol Brown said

‘it floated there in front of me – it wasn’t an illusion – no doubt about it,’

David Bowie said,

‘This is major tom to ground control’

mentalist.

Have you got your Santa hat on backwards again?

It’s reappeared again! Lower in the sky, now, and more or less bang due West.

Anyway, I’m too upset by the unkindness on here.

It’s a mountain rescue helicopter coming to rescue you from the worse than Antarctic conditions you are suffering down there.

Chinook about to ditch in the Thames

It’ll be Venus alright – like a mega bright star yes?

Yes! And pale gold in colour, although this could be the pollution. and I’ve seen satellites before; they are nowhere near as bright, and move more quickly, perceptible in just a short viewing.

Venus? Ooh, how exciting!

Thanks, druidh and Cheesy!

Some of youse lot are just mean and nasty, though.

Found some info:

Venus is a brilliant object setting in the West more than four hours after the Sun at the beginning of February. The planet resembles a pure white non-twinkling aeroplane light.
Through a telescope the planet shows a crescent phase. Venus is now approaching the Earth so it will become larger. However, at the same time its phase gets smaller. These two effects mean that Venus is at its brightest on 19th when it will be 16 times brighter than Sirius, the brightest star. This star is visible in the South East and can be found by following the three stars in the belt of Orion downwards.

Venus continues at its best evening apparition for 2009 but is now beginning to move in towards the evening twilight. By the end of the month, the planet will be setting three hours after sunset.

(Waits for all the nasty ones to apologise…)

No probs.

Still reckon it’s yer Santa hat though!

It’s heading towards Swindon. Probbly going to land in the Woods Behind Nationwide….

Nah, didn’t land here RudeBoy
