Dear Sir/Madam, The Dutch agency of unidentified objects did not respond yet to my question. The Dutch weather agency did and they never encountered such a thing and to their knowledge nothing should of been in the air here. I browsed the internet and more of such reports where reported (I only checked Dutch sites so far) The past days we (neighbours and friends at our party) saw a kind of fireballs/lightballs in the sky. About 100 metres in the air in a constant direction on a constant speed (approximately 30 miles/50 kilometres an hour). Sometimes they changed course and speed. It does this in a manner so it could not be an air-balloon, helicopter or an airplane.

Basically it kind of looks like a huge firefly or a constant fire of an airballoon.

We are down to earth people and the fact that we nor anyone who saw the objects could identity it makes it strange. This is not a hoax or thrillseeking kind of story.

Basically, could you please tell us what it could of been? We're guessing some kind of natural/geographical/etc. thing but seeing as how many reports I encounter about this, it is getting eery.

Thank you in advance for your answer! Kind regards, F V (from The Netherlands) PS I sent this e-mail to various agencies and such in hopes of getting a well informed answer.
