Salford M6 5LZ-9th October 2013

Location of Sighting: Salford M6 5LZ
Date of Sighting: 09/10/2013
Time: 19:50
Witness Name: Dan

Witness Statement: I was walking home from work and before I entered my home I looked up into the sky to see the stars (it was a particularly clear night and the moon was also very large on the horizon).

As I did so, I saw three orange lights quite far apart from each other travelling directly over my head. They were travelling on the same trajectory – almost as though they were ‘in formation’ . They passed over head without making a sound.

The lights were not flashing nor were they particularly bright – they were a dull orange in colour. Squinting I thought I could see a blueish hue behind them however I cannot guarantee I am correct in stating this. It was also difficult to estimate their height, however, it appeared to me as though they were within the atmosphere.

As the lights travelled quickly overhead I was staggered to see the centre light change trajectory significantly – not quite at a right angle but certainly at a speed which defied the momentum of it’s travelling speed. The centre light approached the light on it’s right side and then resumed the same angle of trajectory, flying alongside in a pair for some distance.

As I was about to lose sight of the three travelling lights, again, I saw the same light change it’s course rapidly (again seemingly defying the momentum it had). It travelled across the sky quickly to fly alongside the light which had been travelling to it’s left.

I have no explanation of what type of flying object these three lights could have been. I thought at first they were meteors burning up in the atmosphere, however, the erratic movement of the centre light made me doubt this theory.

Due to their distance apart and speed they could have been very low flying jets – but there was no sound at all. In addition to this, Salford doesn’t see that many jets!

I googled this website and wondered if anyone else saw anything this evening?
