Time: 22:02

Witness Statement: My sons girlfriend noticed a cigar shaped red light approaching from the NE from the Winterhill direction at speed.

The object appeared to have light or sparks underneath.

My wife saw the same thing, it moved from front of house to rear.

My son rushed upstairs to tell me to come and look out of the window ( this being at the rear looking towards the marshes in the distance West towards Ellesmere Port. The three of us saw a red globe that moved slowly from west to east and then went from sight.

I thought it may be a lantern, not possible it was moving against the wind direction.
Within seconds at exactly the same place in the air the red globe appeared and then vanished.

My wife took 5 digital photos (one has come out. Will email photo today).
