Size of Object(s)

With my arm stretched out, my fingers would be about an inch apart. I am unsure of how big the actual thing would be. It was the same 'size' as this: http://www.ufoevidence.org/photographs/section/northamerica/Photo39.htm

Rural, field. No known bases or power plants.

Full Description & Details

I was 8 years old, in Dorset UK, during 1998. My Mum, her partner and I were out walking our dog Charlie and it was near the end of the year so the nights drew in fairly early. We were out in a field and the sky was a typical midnight blue, the stars could be seen easily and it was surprisingly clear, with very few clouds. My Mum's partner called to me and pointed to the sky saying "Look! It's a UFO!". I saw four lights, one at the top, the other three below in a sort of 'smile' formation. The light at the top disappeared, and then reappeared to the right, to then 'swing' the four lights below it across the sky. It's very difficult to describe and certainly was very unusual. I didn't see any outline of a ship, plane, or anything, just these strange swinging lights.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

It was a collection of lights moving so the only likely thing it might be is some sort of plane, but I don't know of any planes that have such a light formation.

Witness Background

Graduate, various volunteer work.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I didn't know much before the sighting, and I know a bit more now after becoming interested.
