(Before It's News)

Location of Sighting: Yate Bristol
Date of Sighting: 18th June 2012
Time: 11.55 approx
Witness Name: Debs Turner & David Packham

Witness Statement: I was letting the dogs out and doing my usual star gaze facing south when a bright yellow flash caught my eye moving north.
The flash lit up an area of sky about a full handwidth of my outstretched hand. I’ve seen white Iridum flares before so looked up to watch the satellite pass over. Instead of a steady light, a flashing/ strobing orange/ yellow light appeared and was moving in a zigzag pattern getting dimmer as it passed overhead before it disappeared so I know it was out of the atmosphere as it passed into the earths shadow.
The best way to describe it was as my eye followed where I expected the trajectory to be it would appear to the left then right of this imaginary line. It did occur to me that maybe something very big was up there and it was a light strobing on either wing but it was have been huge. I called my partner who knows I’ll only yell when I see something I can’t immediately explain. It had gone by the time he came out, but he saw it again at 12.20 but this time moving roughly east to west. A bright orangey/ yellow flash followed by a tumbling pulsing yellow light which he said appeared to be corkscrewing. He said he also saw a flash at about 1am but no light this time.

My rational mind says this has to be an iridum flare and the nano sail came to mind as I’ve seen that and it appears to tumble, but I’ve checked flybys and there were no satellites passing over Yate at that time according to spaceweather.com only a dim one at just after 12. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have watched the sky for years and only seen 2 other things I have not been able to explain.

The best way to describe me is I want to believe but haven’t really seen any proof yet and I always try to explain things rationally. I visit this site quite often and know there are guys out there who are very accurate on flybys so any help would be appreciated or if anyone else saw it.
