The light is usually seen at night, especially from 10pm into the early hours of the morning. People who have had close encounters
with the light describe it as being anywhere between the size of a baseball and a basketball or larger. It can be almost any
colour, and may change colours or have multiple elements, but is most frequently described as orange or yellow. Its light is
strong enough to illuminate the surface of a road, and is often compared with a lantern or headlight. Indeed it usually looks
like a lantern or distant headlight, and many people often take it for such until it exhibits unusual behaviour such as darting
across a field and then suddenly extinguishing itself. Local residents have seen it in their back gardens, hovering outside
their bedrooms, and bobbing along past their porches.
