U2 perhaps?
 

Was just NW of A34, M4 intersection Fri 28 Aug at 1345 and saw what appeared to be a U2 Spy plane headed N at c.5,000ft.
Are they based in the UK or was I very much mistaken! I kinda assumed they'd be more elusive...

U2 perhaps?
 

...or is it just to direct your attention away from the Aurora in the other direction...??

on its way inbound to Fairford, probably.

If there's a couple of left-hand drive black SUV's parked in your road, you know you're on to something.

I think, what you thought you saw, was a " Weather Balloon " OK :E

V12, please ignore the ignorance of the previous posters.

I think it's called humour.

does that include me? it was inbound to Fairford.

No, not you ! :O

That blue chase car looked pretty quick. Looks like an Aussie 5.7L Holden Monaro, though probably known as something else over there like Pontiac or perhaps Vauxhall.

Serial 68-10336

Joins 80-1090 which arrived from Beale on the 25th.
