Location: Nottingham (UK/England), , United Kingdom

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Strange pairs of lights seen at night over Nottingham, England, UK.

I observed 4 lights 16/2/01 6.20pm gmt. All 4 in-line, they stopped for about 4 seconds, front 2 moved on, then 2-4 light piston engined aircraft appeared within 3 minutes and flew in a criss-cross pattern near the lights. Contacted UK UFO groups, and local airport, East-midlands at Castle Donnington. Then contacted local newspaper. 6.20PM was about 20-30 minutes after sundown. All I saw I have described, and I have never seen anything so unusual in all my life! Lights very like lights people have been capturing on video in recent years.
