The Aliens are invading!

Just saw what can only be described as 3 fast moving balls of flame.

It was an uneven light so it was a flame but it moved very fast but more oddly, it looked very low (or was huge) and was absolutely silent!

£ of them one after the other over the exact same place, im leaning towards military but im wondering how something with its afterburners could be so quiet?

    I have to say I believe the OP, only because My brother was filming me with a high speed camera 1000 frames per second, spraying a hosepipe (basically horsing around for slow motion shots), but on playback half way through the footage, something shot past the sky at high speed (even tho filmed in slow motion), of course neither of us noticed it, but at the speed it whisked past, we wouldnt have even seen it had it not been for the high speed camera.

    I have yet to edit it (as the footage is about 10 minutes long, the object lasts only a couple of seconds) and post it on Youtube, once I have I will post a link on here and let everyone decide what it is, as neither of us know what could fly so fast.

    I am no good at Maths, so cannot judge a speed, even at 1000 frames a second, but the footage will show me holding a hosepipe and water creaking into the air in extremely slow motion, whilst this object streaks across the sky in the background at about the speed of a missile.

    I'm not generally a big conspiracy theory fan and I'm not particularly convinced that aliens are overflying Britain, but secret government programs gave us the SR71 Blackbird in the early sixties and that is still the fastest and highest flying plane as far as I'm aware.

    So five decades on you can only imagine the technology that's flying about in secret now.

    yeah i saw one aswell about 3 weeks ago, watched it for well over 10mins, changed direction -shot forwards and hovered on the spot. There was no sound at all and my husband described it as a hot air balloon when i said 'whats that?' but even he agreed they cant move the way this thing was. Youtube it and you will see loads of them, some are chinese lanterns but they 'behave' differently.

    Sorry but your wrong aliens are not invading us.

    We have already been invaded, and have already begun to replace us with their clones. Its the only thing that can explain the behaviour of some people.

    Replacing us with "their" clones would be pointless since the clones would look like them and would therefore not be convincing replacements for us.

    They would need to replace them with OUR clones in order to fit in.

    OH was adamant he was watching a UFO the other week...it was a Chinese lantern.

    I did see something I couldnt explain years ago, I'd not long had DD and was sat on the sofa feeding her and looking out of the window. I saw what I can only describe as a jack shaped object (you know the kids game?) it was as if it was rolling over itself slowly, very very odd. It was a clear, bright day. As the shape reached the horizon it stopped spinning and shot upwards.
