UFO-h
This happened in about 87-88, but my memory is still crystal. My family and I were sitting and watching a particularly bad ITV sitcom (some things never change) called After Henry. Some of my cousins arrived at the door for a visit and told us to go outside and have a look in the sky.

At this point I should say that I am most definitely a skeptic, of all things spiritual, paranormal and supernatural, so it's with considerable annoyance that I say what I saw was unexplained, rather than unexplainable.

In the sky hovering at about the height microlight's fly (night time, hard to judge accurately), were a set of multicoloured, strobing, in sequence, lights. A number of strips going outward from a central point, with a circle of light's surrounding, red's, green's, yellow's. In short, not wholly unlike a close encounters light setup. We watched for a while and the lights remained in the same spot for the duration, and to be honest, lacking a camera, didn't really have anything else to do, so, we retired inside and continued watch sub-par comedy.

It was definitely unexplained, flying and an object, as to whether it was intelligent life, or a particularly enterprising helicopter crew, I've no idea, but it was fairly impressive.
