UFOs and close encountersDr Skagra asks: Ever seen a UFO? Convinced of life on other planets? Are you David Icke? Go into really graphic details about anal probes. Otherwise, just tell us of your UFO sightings: You know - how you once saw a helicopter, thought it was an alien invasion and soiled your trousers.

Boring but true.Shrewsbury, a Sunday afternoon, sunny day with a few clouds.
In the sky, four objects, white, basically point light sources, one brighter than the rest, all stationary in the blue sky. Between them they formed a rhombus, two equilateral triangles, whatever. Didn't move.
Gradually, they faded until I could only see the brightest one. Then a cloud covered that. I saw them, my mum and stepdad saw them. I have no idea what they could have been, but would be interested to hear theories (ideally sensible ones, I'm not David Icke).
Things they weren't:
- Iridium flares - those things move across the sky fast and don't appear in formation
- airliners - ditto
- helicopters. There's a helicopter training centre at Shawbury, but these things were so high as to be featureless. You can see the wings on an airliner when it's six miles above you, but these things were just points of light with no wings or other visible shape.
Things they might have been:
- weather balloons. Odd that they should make a perfect two-equilateral-triangle rhombus in the sky, but not impossible.
- er...
- nope, I got nothing else.
Anyone?

SundogsRare to see, natural optical phenomenon. You were lucky to spot them.

Don't think they were sundogs.The diamond shape they formed was maybe a little bigger than a full moon across its long diagonal, and they were in the northern sky, looking out of the front porch of my house. Not saying they weren't that, but what I saw doesn't conform to the images or descriptions in the wikipedia and other articles I've read about them. They were a good deal more than 22 degrees from the sun, for starters.
Good suggestion, though - best one I've got.
