Information from the eyewitness:

We sat in the garden in the evening and it was already quite dark. Suddenly we saw a round orange light flying across the sky.

It was a little fuzzy, as if it was a bit hazy in the sky. At first I thought about a hot air balloon with a burner. However, it continued to burn all the time and I don't think balloons should fly in the dark.

And also, it seemed that it was flying pretty high. The light sped across the sky.

The light was too big and too orange for the lamp of the aircraft. It scared the kids and made adults feel uncomfortable.

Original news

BURGH-HAAMSTEDE, ZL — We zaten 's avonds in de tuin en het was al flink donker. Plotseling zagen we een oranje rond licht door de lucht vliegen. Het was enigzins wazig, alsof het wat mistig boven in de lucht was, waardoorheen we het zagen. Ik dacht in eerste instantie aan een hete luchtballon, die zijn brander aan had staan. Het bleef echter heel de tijd branden en volgens mij mogen heteluchtballonnen ook niet in het donker vliegen. En het leek ook vrij hoog te vliegen. Het licht ging vrij snel voorbij door de lucht. Voor een vliegtuig lamp was het licht te groot en te oranje. De kinderen werden er bang van en de volwassenen voelden zich er ook niet erg prettig bij.
