Have you seen strange lights in Purley? wrote: An eerie display of light has left a man bemused after two sightings in Purley.

Jay Owen, 28, watched with his girlfriend from his bedroom window as the shooting-star like light whizzed around for about 45 minutes at around 11.30 pm last night and Wednesday.

“We thought our eyes were playing tricks on us. Whatever it was flickered from one point to another. It was much faster than a plane,” said Mr Owen.

He said that the speed it moved in was unbelievable, but as soon as any planes or helicopters flew in the lights direction, the unidentified object disappeared.

The italics are mine.

Sounds like the lights were intentionally evading aircraft. It also sounds like there were multiple aircraft in the air at the time, perhaps even some that were sent to locate the lights. I wonder if the RAF was hunting for little green men?

Perhaps they were chasing a foriegn aircraft violating their borders and don't have enough details to go public without creating a panic.

45 minutes is about right for the loiter time on modern jets.

Remember teh SR-71 flew for decades before she was admitted to be something other than a UFO.

I looked at Natasha's calendar.
They must have witnessed the end of the Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower.
