Thanks for the info - so, got any suggestions as to what it may have been?

Yes, that was suggested earlier ('brain balloon' pic), but I really don't think they'd be up there around midnight. Maybe there is a balloonist here who can say if they are allowed to?

Lovin' the alien...stuff, but nobody is suggesting that it was actually alien - just 'unidentified'.

Sadly not - they will appear (if they do at all) as 'shooting stars' travelling at a very rapid rate across the sky, in the region of The Plough (not the pub!). Not really known to stay in one place for an hour......
