Date of Sighting: 9th May 2009
Time: 10.10pm

Witness Statement: Second sighting. Prev. sighting 18/04/2009. A strange orange ball of light appeared to be following a plane coming into Manchester Airport traveling at same speed about half a mile or so behind plane. As the plane turned to my right the ball of light turned left and shot off at speed. Then about 2 mins later another ball of light appeared traveling the same path as first one. This time there was no planes in the sky, there was no noise and it went of in the same direction as the first one at speed.

I've seen chinese lanterns before and these were far too big and traveling far too fast in a controlled flight. Please read my previous report on the 18/04/2009.
