This is for any TC's. My holiday house in Paralimni is right on the sea and about 300 metres from the green line with Famagusta. FOr the past month I've been watching from my patio an orange light every 10 minutes being fired from famagusta, travelling in a straight line for about 5 minutes towards us and then dropping into the sea. One of them dropped a part of it near my house in the sea.

Sorry DT but it is not clear what you are asking. An orange light and part of it. Please explain. :?

at first we thought it was an airplane but then after a minute flight it dipped and the light went out. My guess its some sort of drone or something like it. The part that fell in front of my house was something like a flare.

Difficult to explain but all you can see is an orange light travelling quite fast for about 5 minutes in a straight line, in the direction of Protaras over the sea and then dipping and dissapearing. It flys at an altitude you would expect a plane to fly at.

We guessed they're some sort of missile tests.

Well have a good look around the beach and see if you can retrieve anything that might have fallen there.
