I never said i thought it was an alien in a ship, I have a few theories but one of the most interesting is that it was a probe or monitoring device. It could of been surveying our system here for what ever benign reason.
It's not hard to believe in civilizations which harness a colossal amount of technological strength and that they might want to probe around to have a nosey
let me explain further, info taken from Dr Michio Kaku
There are 3 types of civilizations, a ' type 1' can harness the power of their planetary system, like volcanos, the ocean ect, they can control their weather system, in summery they have complete control over anything planetary.
'Type 2' they have exhausted there planetary energy sources and now get energy directly from their sun
'Type 3' They can harness the power of billions of stars in an entire galaxy
unfortunately we are a type 0 planet, which means we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal we are extremely primitive in comparison, so when we see an orange glowing object fly passed we get scared and hide behind curtains...
In a way if someone told me it was a probe sent to survey our planetary properties, it shouldn't even be that surprising...
We live in a phenomenal world and outside of our little microcosmic realities there is shit going on
thanks for reading
regards
larn

"a probe sent to survey our planet wouldn't be that surprising"
lol, some people live in a fuckin dreamworld. there is no doubt a very ordinary explanation to waht you saw, so ordinary that the thousands of people who no doubt saw it couldn't even be arsed to phone the Sun newspaper.
do you really understand the distances involved between planets or the likelihood of intelligent life - as we know it - existing simultaneously, or within distances that would even be remotely plausible to travel/visit no matter how sophisticated.
you watch too many movies my friend.

Yes, there isn't even any evidence that the expected life of a intelligent civilization can live long enough to develop advanced technology to explore other galaxies and planets until their home planet resources run out, life may not be rare in the Universe but that doesn't mean that interstellar traveling is possible, there are too many factors to consider like a gamma ray burst, how could we even prevent that?

Let's face it, after travelling millions of miles, would you want to go to Northampton?
You'd have to be a type -1 civilisation for that.

haha hahaha but seriously...alien must b considered because we cannot be the only life, but why they only float around making pretty shapes is not easy for us to understand. maybe they are not so clever and are learning from us then zap onward to a new beyond with teachings of our world. like maybe they do not have designer sofas, health care, and gun clubs.

"Two physicists recently suggested that the Large Hadron Collider may have malfunctioned because a Higgs boson particle, travelling back in time from a future experiment, wrecked the machine."

Einstein's favorite limerick was: There was an old lady called Wright who could travel much faster than light. She departed one day in a relative way and returned on the previous night.

lovely read you all btw i have no problems imagining highly advanced space travel beyond our science. and them probing other planets just like we do. the only hassle is the same as with time travel:
if its possible, wheres the tourists from the future? i mean even if we might be laughable to other species, why dont they establish a comedy channel on us?

Thats a lovely idea.Theres enough comedic material in governments alone to keep the aliens in( alternative) reality shows for years.

i used to wonder why we haven't had any space travellers visit us yet.
Some scientists reckon that in order to travel through time, you need two machines, one to send you back (or forward) and one as a reception. So that would mean that until the machines are created, we can't travel back.

I thought I would update you on my findings, I have been doing some heavy research into the object i saw, I may have found a scientific explanation:
Ball lightning caused by oxidation of nanoparticle networks from normal lightning strikes on soil
Observations of ball lightning have been reported for centuries, but the origin of this phenomenon remains an enigma. The 'average' ball lightning appears as a sphere with a diameter of 300 mm, a lifetime of about 10 s, and a luminosity similar to a 100-W lamp. It floats freely in the air, and ends either in an explosion, or by simply fading from view. It almost invariably occurs during stormy weather. Several energy sources have been proposed to explain the light, but none of these models has succeeded in explaining all of the observed characteristics. Here we report a model that potentially accounts for all of those properties, and which has some experimental support. [continued]
case closed!

there was a similar phenomenon in the dutch skies on 13/10, horrid translation here
LAZY_TITLE
english shit (this is the best link)
i'm pretty sure this is what you guys saw, the origin of ball lightning is still not clear, and from descriptions i've heard it moves slower than what you described. ball lightning moves nearer to the ground, homing in on conducting metals or other objects.

i wonder if there were more sightings over inhabited areas recently, quite a coincidence so close together in time and geographical location on earth.
