Location of Sighting: Cowdenbeath, Fife, Scotland
Date of Sighting: 27th February 2010
Time: 22.30 hrs

Witness Statement: Myself, my partner and his daughter were traveling home to Cowdenbeath from Crossgates from my friends house. Just as we were approaching Cowdenbeath we saw approx. 10-15 bright orange/red lights high in the sky. They seemed to be in some sort of formation (in lines) in a kind of pyramid shape. We stopped the car as it was such a strange sight we thought it might be helicopters so I rolled down the window to listen but there was no noise at all and as it was quite late at night and there was very little traffic you would think you hear that amount of helicopters. We also thought about chinese lanterns but this didn't make sense either as they were stationary in a formation for at least 5 mins. Also the majority of them disappeared all of a sudden apart from 2 which started to move pretty quickly towards Hill-of-Beath and 1 towards Mossmorran before they disappeared too. So unless chinese lanterns have some kind of radio-controlled motor attached to them I don't believe that's what we saw.

I'd love to know if anyone else saw these or if someone has an explanation please let us know.
