Hi there. I have a 1 minute video footage of part of this event, that occurred on a clear evening in the South East London area. I am very willing to send you the footage....I have put this on youtube, here is the link- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fi6zqCIsam0 REPORT.

Time 7.10pm Date: december 15th, 2007 Location SE22, London Witnesses 6 Duration of sighting: 7-9 minutes Conditions: Extremely clear night We were at work. I am the head chef and the other key witness is a kitchen assistant.At 7pm, he went outside to smoke a cigarrette.I was inside the kitchen and I was very busy. I could hear a helicopter at an uncomfortably low altitude (sounded like it was going to land outside!!)My colleague came into the kitchen shouting "OVNI!OVNI!" (Which apparently means 'UFO' in Latin.) I went outside and saw a black military helicopter (possibly a Chinook) flying very low and erratically over the neighbouring houses.

On closer inspection,it appeared to be chasing several small darting lights in the sky. We watched for 5-10 minutes as the helicopter investigated. There was also a "static" ufo that was there for about 5 minutes (you can see this in the video, it is the white orb to the right of the street light...this later just vanished, sort of de-materialized. During the sighting, 2 other smaller white orbs appeared to "dock" with the stationary UFO.

There were also several other smaller lights darting around it. One was flashing at orange and bright blue colour in 3 second intervals. The other smaller objects (there may have been a total of 20 during the 5-10 minute sighting, kept appearing and disappearing!! Weird.

This video was taken using a Samsung mobile phone- This video does not do justice to what we saw. The bright light in the middle is obviously a street light. You can't see the helicopter on here because it had no lights on at all! But you can clearly hear it. The one to the right is the stationary white orb.

The interseting thing is , that there were a spate of sightings in the same area in the same week (the sighting you have on your site in Brixton (Dec 12th) is approx 2 miles away from where I was) What we saw was amazing.The video footage doesn't really do justice to what we witnessed. There is absolutely no way that these were baloons, military craft,civilian craft, anomolous lights etc...why was a military helicopter chasing them? And why did the military helicopter have no lights on? I find this very surprising as in this area of SE London, we are on several flight paths for 3 major airports.It seems that the helicopter may have been scrambled to investigate the lights.
