Just for info. The lights in the video above, widely accepted at the time as a 'UFO', were military flares.

I did say, quite specifically, that what I saw was nothing like your video clip.

My wife and I both saw those lights for a prolonged period and the closest thing that I could come up with was a formation of choppers on a night mission. They didn't look like any flares that I had ever seen.

I'm able to roughly judge its speed and size because of what we call the Malaga passenger jet which crosses the same patch of sky most nights, though an hour later.

This object was twice the size of the jet and covered something like the same journey in seconds, rather than the several minutes for the passenger jet.

The weirdest thing was its ability to suddenly stop in its flight and hover for minutes in the same spot. We've got a Spanish air force base nearby at San Javier and are used to seeing jet trainers in the sky during the day, and helicopters too. This object travelled many times faster, it covered many miles in less than a second.

When the large red glow slowly turned white, the white spot was the size of distant stars and faded in a second or so.

If you were looking south and it was travelling west to east it would be presenting its left (port) side to you. Craft carry a red light on their port side. They also carry a white light astern so if the red light faded to white light which then moved away it is displaying all the qualities of a normal craft - of the helicopter type maybe?.

Aircraft also have strobe lights that are usually more visable than their normal navigation lights.

I'm not into UFOs or anything like that, and what I saw was nothing like the You Tube video posted above. At the same time, I'm not unduly bothered.

I posted to see if anyone else had seen the object, or if someone could offer an explanation.

It appears not, but I thank the contributors.

Not that I know how to upload them anyway, but a friend with contacts in the media world is negotiating for me. I might get to be famous, or rich.
