Red face Flying Aircraft at night

i drive through Kent every night and in the sky are 2 aircraft that fly all night !! does anyone know what these are?

they have green and red light, they look like aeroplanes, but i have seen them hover as well. i have also seen 3 white spotlights being used on the aircraft. my guess is that they belong to the Met, but who knows...?

Have you told the AAIB team working on BA38? This sure reinforces the Alien theory...

I was never convinced that aircraft could fly at night but a pilot told me it was dead easy.. Look out of the windows for the red and green lights... as long as you steer the aeroplane between them everything turns out fine.
