Man Records Strange Light Over Gloucester, England

A still image of the mysterious flashing light.

Rob Wheatman of Gloucester, England, captured footage of a mysterious flashing light over his house earlier this month.  The footage was taken with Wheatman's own high-powered camera.

"I saw it as a sparkling 'star' from the garden in Elmbridge, due south, " said Wheatman.  "What alerted me was an orange light that came from it and travelled at speed north east."

"I grabbed my video and luckily it has a 40x zoom and that's when I got the images of the bizarre light you saw."

The strange object flashed and glowed in the sky.

The light appeared to flash different colors, and was described as having the general shape of a craft of some kind.

"It's just flashing at a distance...I don't know what it is," Wheatman can be heard to say in the video.
