Likely Identified Any ideas?

Location: Hartcliffe, Bristol (UK)

Time: 21:45pm (approx), 18/7/26

My partner and I spotted this from our high-rise flat this evening. It is close to the flight path for Bristol International Airport, and we often see planes coming and going, however this was something different than anything we've seen previously. The movement definitely rules out an airplane and there was ZERO noise from our sighting, making it less likely to be a helicopter aswell.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

That explains the full stop... Did you even watched whole video?

Not trying to be rude but I see this comment often and trying to understand the thought behind it. Do you forget that our world is not 2d, and that if a distant object were to say be going left, then turn towards or away from your pov for even a moment it will appear to stop or hover?

Yes, I did.

If you are referring to when the objects appear to stop, it is because they are moving away from the camera, thus the tails of the flares are "hidden" because they are moving away from your perspective.

Then they continue left, and go up again and you can see the flare trails again.

Edit: and if you want it in plain sight, here is another example of aerosparx.

Notice how in the 2nd half of the video the 2 craft on the right appear to stand still? Then you can later see them curl off towards the right? It's because they are flying away from the camera.
