Date of Sighting: 9th May 2009
Time: 23.40

Witness Statement: We were driving down Manchester Road [B5095] towards Cheadle at about 23.40 on 9 May. We were looking at the Moon and noticed solidish looking 3 large red/orange lights moving in a triangle formation from just to the left of the Moon moving right to left across the horizon. We stopped to try and get a better look but our view was obscured by trees.

They were large lights and certainly didn't belong to any aircraft I've ever seen. There was no associated sound and conditions were good.
