Location of Sighting: Altrincham, UK
Date of Sighting: 04th March, 2010
Time: 08:20pm

Witness Statement: Whilst setting up my telescope in my back garden, notice a white circular shape passing overhead. Thought at first it was a plastic bag but then realised it was too circular and heading in a dead straight line. I then realised it was too high to be lit by streetlight. Its had to be ~ 3,000ft up and self-lit. Its apparent size remained about 1/3rd of a degree, quite a big size but not quite as big as the full moon. Its direction was ESE and probably passed right over Manchester airport, which is 3 miles south of me. Its colour was off-white with some vague contrast and it definitely had a 3D shape and looked like an upside down jellyfish.
