Location of Sighting: Middleton, Manchester,UK
Date of Sighting: 25/1/2010
Time: 11.33pm

Witness Statement: I saw a orange light that seemed to expand into a larger orange object /light then retract itself.

Object was over field at the back of Arndale Centre (or possibly over Alkrington Woods, was difficult to tell from my position)

Object moved up and down, quite low flying, maybe 100 to 150 ft from ground. I watched it for 2 or 3 minutes then it slowly dimmed, moving away over Alkrington Wood area, heading southwards.

Also, many years ago (1990 or 89) I saw a purple gaseous triangle at approximately 8.00am one morning on my way to work. This was very low flying over a school field on Langley approx 60 to 70ft up and a perfect triangle, with the point of the triangle pointing upward, but did not look "solid", one dimensional, difficult to estimate size now as was a long time ago but maybe about 10 to 20 ft in height and the strangest thing I have ever seen. It moved silently and quite regally over the field and I watched it go over some house rooftops before it disappeared over toward Heywood direction. It appeared to be moving on a determined path. It was about as other worldly as you can get.
