On Saturday 3rd Jan 2009, 7 of us traveled together in the area of Macclesfield. 3 adults and 4 children. I guess around 10pm.
In disbelief one of the passengers spotted 3 amber circular orb-like entities in the sky overhead. They were not traveling particularly fast but were either flying in ‘formation’ or part of a single larger object. We actually pulled over and got out to look at them.
Also this in the news:

There must be other people in the Macclesfield area that also saw these things. Please let me know if you did.
I’m not a great believer in UFO’s and don’t watch the X-Files but it’s hard to dismiss them. This is the 3rd time something like this has happened. The previous experience was when 3 of us traveled one evening from Renne, France to Bristol, UK in a Piper Commander, G-BASJ – must have been around 1995. For about an hour a light seemed to be off out on the port wing about a mile away. It was like looking into the opening of a hot hair ballon. Nobody really said anything (did more looking actually) but when eventually we did start discussing it one of us took the matter up with the radar control (I don’t remember which of us or what control, Brize, Exeter or Bristol maybe) and reported this. They had nothing on their radar showing including any other air traffic. This thing just left as we got closer to land – nobody saw it go, it just vanished.
Thanks
