Did anyone see the orange ball....

[MadWorld74]

...moving very quickly in the sky at about 7pm Saturday night over ED?

It was almost like the top half of a hot air ballon, you could see the orange flames inside it. But it had no basket or anything attached underneath. It was travelling very fast indeed in a straight line and on about a 45 degree upward angle. Compared to the aircrafts that were also in the sky, it was very fast indeed.

Okay, so I wasn't drunk or tripping.

Anyone else see it?

I was stood on Underhill Road at the time.

Magic lantern?

[MadWorld74]

oh well I thought it was something out of the ordinary but yes, a skylantern, it appears to be. Thanks for clearing that up Ted Max. They're nice aren't they?

[Ted Max]

They're nice enough. But those critters driving them are really ugly.

[MadWorld74]

I wonder why it was flying about ED?

Ah! Now THAT'S the conspiracy theory started there.

[MadWorld74]

okay well lets roll with it. Are we being watched?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Only by strange royalists, apparently.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am stunned that there is no wobbly mobile-phone footage of said alien invasion of ED's hallowed skies.

I?ve sent the wife up the tree with a torch and will have it filmed and posted forthwith.

[Ted Max]

Kinky.

[Michael Palaeologus]

A fine example of how useful a wife can be in the right circumstances.

I think its foxtons measuring our houses from the sky and watching us to see if we die so they can get there grubby little mitts on our houses!
