Wierd shape in the sky

[hauntedspook]

Have to report this time is 20:40 hours 22nd December 2009. I just saw something really bizarre in the night sky over Blackley in North Manchester.heading toward the Middleton, Oldham area I think.

It was a bright orange elongated cross shape moving at a teriffic speed. It was either orange or the whole thing was on fire. I have heard no sound of a crash. It was moving so fast. This is genuinely what I saw and NOT a hoax. I did'nt have batteries in my camera. It was moving so fast anyway by the time i had my camera it would have been out of view.


I wonder if anyone saw this or could offer an explanation. I don't drink alcohol nor use drugs except prescribed ones which I took first thing this morning.

Woah it was bizarre

Interesting, have you looked online to see if anyone else reported the sighting? I'd love to see something like that.

Yes I have been monitoring local news events speaking to folk nearby, no one saw what I did. It has not been reported. It's odd this morning though there was report of an aircraft that broke up but that was miles away in Jamaica. I am about 5 miles from Manchester airport my instinct says it may have been an aircraft in trouble, but my heart is hoping it was something else

I found these reports just now online:

Walking home at around 9pm last night (21/12/2009), I saw five bright orange lights moving across the sky above Whalley Range, Manchester, one at a time, moving quite slowly, then disappearing upwards into the sky. They looked like they were on fire, very bright. I can’t think of any decent explanation as to what they were.

A large “fireball” was seen travelling slowly across the sky over Telford, UK. On the night of 21/12/2009…. Not a chinese lantern as it was atleast 5times brighter then the searchlight of a helecopter! It was being followed by 3 other objects of similar size, moving in a very large formation… the objects seemed to have been followed by many aircraft…. Many people say chinese lantern but I say 110% not because this was incredibly bright, and much higher in the sky, many say a meteor as we have had a shower recently, good BUT reports of this object being seen all across the county and surrounding countys from between 6pm and 10.30pm…. would have been the longest comet coming to earth, and if it WAS a comet coming to earth, it would have left one heck of a smash somewhere because this thing was HUGE, like seriously.

What I find strange is the lack of news coverage or media about it, if it was a comet, or plane on fire.. I’m sure we would have heard about it now… and I am an experienced, mature man, I’m not a dunce and I can tell you this, I was NOT one of these paper lanterns people talk about, this looked more like a jetliner on fire, thats how big this thing was.

Yes. I have reported this to a website that deals with sightings. Even though I could not provide photographic evidence they were taking me seriously. They are requesting some information from The Ministry of Defence about any possible activity in my area under the Freedom of Information Act. See new post for a similar picture of what I saw
