    Thanks for the reply @offerman, Yes that father and son team does sound like it could feasibly be what we saw, although I'd have to say that the planes would have to be flying really quite slowly, for it to be that. I'll have a look into them and see if I can find any other corroborating evidence, for them being on that route at that time.

    Is this the footage that you refuted?

    The Bath resident says he has never seen anything like it

    That is indeed a strange sighting, but what you have described does sound like it's the answer. I've always been into the subject but take a very sceptical view, looking for the answers in the more mundane explanations, a bit like yourself. There's usually an answer in 95% of cases, I suppose its the other 5% of unexplained sightings that keeps my interest in the subject.

    Sorry to hear you've had such tough time the last few years with your parents'  health. You are a good man to be putting such effort into caring for them even though it can be awfully stressful. I lost my mum last year after she'd been constantly in and out of hospital with COPD for three or four years. It really can wear you down, when all you want is for them to have a better quality of life. Then my partner lost her Mum 6 months later with a stroke out of the blue so I understand how tough these times can be. Stay strong and enjoy life as much as you can when you get the chance. 

     

    Looking at that video there's nothing to suggest anything unto ward, as the movements are slow and synchronized, there's no sudden acceleration of anything that would make you think it was anything other than an earthly event, more to the point I wonder why people think it must be planes..Anyway like you, I really don't put that into any category of EXTRA terrestrial..

    What I find strange is that I was at sandbanks yesterday the section by jazz café off to the right as you walk onto the beach

    now we got there early while we thought it was early at 10 am and it was absolutely solid at a park quite a long way away touchy find a space which we were lucky to find that according to one really friendly resident

     

    when all these photos pop-up showing hordes of people we didn’t find that at all yes it was busy but there was plenty of space all the way round no one felt cramped in at all there was lots of space

    when we would looked further down the beach and it curves all the way around through Branksome Chine Boscombe across to Bournemouth it looked packed but then when you only see the tops of the heads looking along the same level it does give an optical illusion of being absolutely solid

     

    Hiya, remember that the "hordes" come down the A31 and then the A338 straight in to Bmth, when beaches like Canford Cliffs, Durley Chine, Boscombe, Shore Rd, Sandbanks and Studland are (ssssshhhhh, the locals hide out), b*****r that's done it, even more so Swanage . For some reason people SWARM to Durdle door, I think largely because of the national press.

    Personal I skip the local beaches until the end of the holiday season, then they can be enjoyed, having lived here for most of my life, I do appreciate the beach, but not when it's full of hordes of people, and I love it in the winter..oh and of course I can take my dogs back for a wander along the shoreline

    Do they have a policy of clamping or impounding?

     

    FWIW, I've been clamped before (in my own private parking space in central Bristol - ridiculous!) and it was a whole bundle of hassle getting the vehicle unclamped. Plus there was slight wheel damage.

    According to the local rag just now it says

    "BCP Council had issued 319 penalty charges notices up to 5pm." on the last hot day I think it was closer to 700, BUT they still have tomorrow to catch up!

    Making the most of the sunshine from the beachcam...

    Question: Is it as convenient to take the BCP parking fine, for a day's parking at a convenient spot when going to the beach. THink about it... You park where you want in a convenient location of your choice, you don't pay the exorbitant car parking fees, and you have an a convenient walk back to the car at the end of the day...I wonder! OK so you have a fine to pay, but think of the covenience AND the fact you would have paid part of the fine in parking fees..

    OK, I have to come clean, I jinxed the weather today..it was so clear and sunny when I first posted, then about 5minutes afterwards the cloud rolled in..as the Sat image now shows a continual flow in from the North Sea, that's b....d up the sunshine for today then until the heat lifts later this afternoon and the clouds lift...maybe you missed the best part of the day Becka!

    The beachcam shot this morning says it all I think

    image.thumb.png.61e4dde7d2d8602decf955479a54edbf.png

    It is already quite warm standing out in the sun, with clear skies all around...after an overnight low of 12.2°C at: 05:42, currently 16.7°C and climbing, RH84%

    I think the UK radar system must be broken, as this is day two it looks like this

    Apart from some patchy cloud the satellite shot shows just how clear the skies are across the UK

    It's always interesting to see the interaction of the Azores high, in both Winter & Summer. This one seems to have "shot it's bolt" early as the potential for a cooler break looms (even for a short spell). Amazing how in the winter it can stay put for days, in summer it seems challenged even though the Jet stream gives it some breath to align itself (at least for a while).

    The Global Jet Stream forecast even suggests it will push the high awat..

    The recorder may be stretching a bit as it's a bit hazy with smoke but nothing bad at all:

    We're gently baking, nothing of any real heatwave note but it's consistently warm. July has averaged 26.1C so far against the long term July average of 22.8C, then the forecast looks like this:

    Nice....
