Witness Statement: Was on my way home from work in Leigh going through Glazebrook when I noticed a big golden light over towards Altrincham. I stopped my car & got out at a farm entrance...I had my camcorder with me so I started filming.

At 1st i thought it might be just planes on their landing cycles but I saw no FAA on these big bright lights. As I continued to watch I also noticed a very strange looking, slow moving plane heading towards Warrington. May well be just a plane but it does look a bit weird when I zoom in.

Went back to the big light where it was now joined by another just below it...there was then a series or changes between several lights moving left & right which again led me to believe it may be just planes.

Then just below the big lights smaller ones started appearing low on the horizon, blinking on & off, some in big formations in a row, others in smaller groups. While all this was going on the bright ones above had now gone but more of these smaller ones kept appearing for a further couple of minutes. I was a fair distance away but you could clearly see these lights were in the air, the footage I got really doesn't do justice to what I saw with my eyes. It ended with another big one appearing above again before the ones at the bottom all blinked out, then the big one disapeared again.

Was hoping more people would've seen it but I've only seen one report of it so far. Did have one comment from someone in Warrington saying they saw approx 40-50 of these flying in separate groups at around the same time.

You can this & loads of other stuff I've got around Manchester since June of this year on my Youtube channel "Duffman790″
