More orange lights
SIR - I also saw the circular bright orange lights (Yours Sincerely, June 3), just slightly earlier. Living where I do in Braunton, they appeared to come over the sea and Saunton sand dunes towards the village. They were travelling quite slowly about 30 s

Living where I do in Braunton, they appeared to come over the sea and Saunton sand dunes towards the village.
They were travelling quite slowly about 30 seconds apart at a fairly low trajectory. When they were over the village, they did a 90-degree turn towards Northam. It was a still night and totally silent. It would be interesting to get an explanation.

Will we ever know what they were?

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Gazette carried similar stories last year about orange lights in the sky and it was concluded that they were probably Chinese lanterns released at a party or wedding reception. Any other explanations?
