Location of Sighting: Glasgow West / Paisley East
Date of Sighting: 24th April 2010
Time: 10.15 pm

Witness Statement: Around 10.15pm I went out into the back garden, a bright orange light caught my eye in the sky. I could not believe my eyes, I followed it and as I continued to watch it another one appeared. I was wondering what this could be, as I continued to look at the sky a third one appeared. I ran inside to get my son to see this, as we stood looking a fourth and fifth one appeared. I went to get my husband and he came out and witnessed them also. We ran to the front of the house as a 6th, 7th then 8th one appeared. The light was like a ball of fire, it was so bright and there was no noise at all. The sky was silent until a helicopter appeared, we continued to watch these lights, they turned direction following each other, the 2nd light in the chain seemed to catch up with the 1st one and they flew side-by-side while the others were in a straight line behind.

This makes me feel it could not be lanterns being blown by the wind, also it can be noted that night there was no wind at all at ground level. Eventually, they disappeared one by one.
