Narrative
22/06/2026 - 21:43 Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, United Kingdom Saw this light hovering above Cannock Chase. Checked flight radar and couldn’t see anything in the vicinity. It remained stationary but flickering for a few minutes, before fading and disappearing without moving. It reappeared later in a different spot and had a different colour to it (I didn’t get footage of its reappearance, sorry!). submitted by /u/matthilton99
