UFOs head for county to join festive celebrations

The truth may be out there, and it could be over the skies of Kent during Christmas following reports of mysterious UFOs.

One happened at 8.30pm on Christmas Day when a resident said they saw "four silent lights".

The sighting was reported on a popular UFO website called HBCC.

The witness said the shape of objects could not be determined because it was dark.

They said there were "four silent lights travelling in the sky, in formation, straight line. Spaced apart enough so light will not reveal form of objects within its proximity. I took photos on mobile, usual story as mobile will not take perfect picture.

"I do not wish to go public with my name. This was an observation, this is reported so movement can be calculated if any one else has seen the same. Hopefully a pattern will emerge."

And at 6.45pm on December 28, three people saw "round balls of fire" over Strood.

One wrote on another website, UFOINFO: "I am not sure in honesty what this was, I don't even believe in UFOs but I must admit that I am baffled.

“I was standing outside the front of my house with my sister when we saw a bizarre orange light in the sky.

“It was moving rather quickly and did not seem to be at a tremendous altitude. It was absolutely silent and quite disconcerting.

“It seemed to be moving at about the speed of a helicopter, however at the altitude it appeared to be at a helicopter would have been clearly audible.

"After 30 seconds meandering across the sky it stopped and then curved about 20 degrees in movement. Then after a brief pause of 10 seconds it appeared to increase in altitude at a pretty fast rate. It dimmed to red and disappeared with very little warning in a matter of 10 seconds."

And on December 30 over Rochester, someone reports seeing at 6.30pm one or two angular, triangle shaped objects which were very bright.

They wrote the "objects very close together very bright. Thought maybe aircraft but no jet noise or landing lights. Seemed to be high up, moved off very quickly in SW direction."
