My mum and I were driving home late on Saturday night 5/08/06. I noticed something up in the sky - there were 4 amber coloured round shapes, hovering around. Amber/orange coloured round balls (is the only way I can explain them) that were lit up, moving around quite slowly. (I really do not know how far away they were or how fast they were travelling. When I first noticed them they were in a straight line one under the other then one ball of light went behind the another and slowly come back out into view. We stopped got out of the car to have a better look. There were already 10 or so cars also pulled up looking up at these strange lit up balls up in the sky. I had my mobile (cell) phone with me so I took a video recording of these strange lights. (Although, later on when I replayed the short video I couldnt really see anything other than the moon and the dark sky). These balls of light slowly moved away from each other and went up into space getting smaller and smaller to our eyes until we could no longer see them.

No one could explain them, they certainly were not planes, helicopters, laser lights or Air balloons. Really weird, strange!!
