On the evening of October 16, residents filmed bright lights in the skies over Devon, England. Near the town of Cullompton, one eyewitness saw a sight that began like a fireball — then transformed before his eyes.
The lights slowed and split into several separate points. Afterward, they vanished and reappeared. Several residents documented them that same evening, but the report doesn't explain what traversed the skies. This was reported by the local website Devon Live.
A Fireball-Like Sight That Changed
Mason saw the lights near Cullompton, around 8 PM. Initially, they looked like a comet or a fireball to him. Later, they slowed down, then split into several separate lights.
Mason said that as the lights split, he found it difficult to understand what he was seeing. They also began to disappear and return. This is how the sight changed during the sighting: first, a light that appeared as a single object, and then several lights that appeared separately.
Documented Near Another Town Too
Kerr filmed the lights near Honiton, another town in Devon. He asked if other people had seen them and if anyone knew what they were. The report stated that several residents filmed the lights that same evening.
The videos showed several bright lights crossing the sky before splitting. They documented the sight but provided no explanation for what occurred. The descriptions from both eyewitnesses also fail to identify the lights: one tried to compare them to a comet or a fireball, and the other simply asked what he had seen.
What Remains Unknown
It is unknown what the lights were, or what caused them to slow, split, and momentarily vanish. The report offers no possible explanation for this event, making it impossible to determine from the documentation what created the phenomenon.
Several lights cross the night sky. Then, before the eyes of those who filmed them, they cease to be visible — and return.
