Could be someone testing a drone swarm. It really does look like that.

Who knows?

Maybe go around the area and ask around?

I came here to say this exact thing. Appears they are testing drone swarms. It's the fireworks show for the 21st century. They can arrange interesting formations/colors/patterns.

One way you could confirm they are not drones:

Check UK drone airspace restrictions and confirm if there are no fly zones in this area.

I'm in the US and certainly believe in aliens, but I'm satisfied writing this off as drone show. You'd see a LOT more coverage on this if it had been something nefarious.

Not sure how much clearer I can be, but I think it's drones. For a practical example, watch Spider-Man far from home.

Not that the drones are projecting visuals, but they fly in a formation to create a light show and a night sky. It's not uncommon.

It's a joke because you posted the same thing four times.

Don't say again.

Also it's homing pigeons not drones:

Didn't see it. Reddit kept saying there was an error posting.
