Location: Puerto de Mazarron (Spain), , Spain

Shape:
Characteristics: Emitted beams

dull objects very high laser type lights

Surprised by what we had seen the previous two nights we watched again.

three of the same very high dull objects moving accross the sky from s to n, at about ten min intervals,They all followed the sam route. They seemed illuminated, by the sun perhaps, no other lights visable, and no shape other than to say that if they were at the height of a satalite then they were massive. I have seem the Russian space lab passing accross the sky in the past, and all these things were massive by comparison , and moving much slower. At 21.02 I spotted another of these objects on the same rout, and as it passed overhead it just dissapeared. I was watching it with the glasses. We searched the sky but could see nothing.

After about three or four mins.there was a bright flash, just as on the first night, a pinhead of white clear light lasting about a second. It was about where the last object has "dissapeared" Another flash 10 secs later on the forward projection line of the path the object was following. approx 10 sec. later a further flash to the east ( 12 inches)Two further lights seen in the area between the last two lights. A final light was seen away to the north on the line of flight all the objects had been following.

NUFORC Note:

One of several sightings reported by the same witness. The descriptions of some of them seem to us not inconsistent with the appearance of typical satellites. PD
