Initial data
It was on the last Thursday, December 3, 2009, when my UFO sighting occurred just after 3 am, I do not want to name the exact place where I live, except that this observation occurred in a Large Manchester, United Kingdom.
I came home from work at 2-45 in the morning. The first thing I did was put the dog out in the back garden, then I remembered that I turned on Sky News, and then I made coffee. It was just after three o'clock in the morning, when I was standing at the back door of the kitchen, drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette, watching my dog sniff the garden, when I noticed a strange light.
The light was a very bright whitish / orange-reddish object and had a jagged triangular shape, I should note that the actual color of the light, especially at the edges, was much brighter orange, but appeared more reddish in both photos and videos (not published). I suspect that this could be due to the fact that I used the camera of a cheap digital phone?
The object was almost directly above my house, and it is difficult to say how high it was in the sky, it seemed that it was several hundred feet from the ground, but could it be much further?
I'm pretty sure that what I saw was the lower part of the object, it was completely silent and I couldn't see any movement, it seemed completely motionless. Also, what is not yet visible in the photos or videos is that at times the object looked like it was on fire, and I am almost sure that I saw something like smoke or steam around the object.
To the naked eye, it appeared to be about the size of a five-pence coin held at arm's length. I stood and watched the brightly lit object for about 45 seconds before I went inside and picked up my mobile phone.
I took 7 photos in total: 2 normal and 5 with full magnification (5x digital magnification). Then I started shooting the object on my mobile phone, what happened next was just a stunning and quiet sight. After shooting the light for about 30 seconds, a smaller circular light, greenish-white in appearance, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I stood and watched the second object and watched it blink and go out several times, as well as disappear and reappear in different parts of the night sky, and also move around a larger triangular object. I have to say that some of the maneuvers and the speed of the moving light were just mind-boggling, mind-boggling and just plain weird. After about 1 minute, a circular light shot at a great speed in a north-westerly direction, went out and simply disappeared.
I kept shooting the main object for about 30 seconds more before it just went out, it was like someone turned off the light, there was an orange / reddish flash and the object disappeared, I'm pretty sure I saw an orange-orange color. The strip quickly disappeared, it lasted no more than a second and, unfortunately, is not displayed in the video clip. I must have gone in and out of the garden about 15 times over the next hour to see if I could see it again, I didn't see anything else and went to bed. I must say, at that time and after this observation, I never really thought about it, I didn't think about UFOs, flying saucers, aliens or anything like that, I thought: "It's pretty weird," and that's all I was thinking about.
The next day and the next few days, I began to understand what I had seen. Last week I did a little research on the Internet, and I'm surprised how much is known about UFOs there, I never had any interest before I saw it, and I didn't realize that there is so much on the Web.
I showed the photos and videos to a few people, and the main reaction I got was "wow", "weird". I showed the footage to my good friend, he thinks that what I saw was nothing more than a military plane. I suppose I couldn't rule this out as an explanation, but over the years I have attended many air shows and seen on TV and DVDs a lot of material about airplanes, jet planes, etc.and I can honestly say that I have never seen anything that could perform maneuvers and move as fast as the objects I witnessed.
I'm not saying that what I witnessed was an alien, but I would like someone to show me something man-made that can work like objects that I've witnessed, I've never seen anything remotely close.
I will have to leave, as time is running out and I have a million things to do, I decided to contact several people in the world of UFOLOGY and see what they have to say. I would appreciate it if you could ask an analysis expert to take a look at my evidence and please get back to me.
I am more than happy to share my evidence with people, and please do not hesitate to publish it, all I ask is not to disclose my name and personal data, please remember, I am a professional and would not like to be subjected to any ridicule or unwanted attention that such a statement may cause. I am very much waiting for your answer. Thank you, ((name deleted))

Summary: It was last Thursday 3rd December 2009 that my UFO Sighting occurred at just after 3am in the morning, I do not want to give the exact location of where I live, except to say that this sighting occurred in Greater Manchester, UK. Altrincham, Cheshire a metropolitan borough of Trafford. I arrived home from work at 2-45 am in the morning, the first thing that I did was to put the dog out in the back garden, I then remember switching on Sky news and then I made a coffee. It was just after 3am when I was stood at the back kitchen door drinking a mug of coffee and smoking a cigarette watching my dog sniff around the garden when I spotted the strange light. The light was a very bright whitish/orangish/reddish object and appeared to be a jagged triangular shape, I have to point out that the actual colour of the light, especially around the edges was much more of a fiery orange colour, but has showed up more of a reddish colour on both the photos and video, I suspect this could be due to the fact that the camera I was using was a cheap digital phone camera? The object was almost directly above my house and it is difficult to say how high up in the sky it was, it appeared to be several hundred feet from the ground but it could have been a lot further away? I am pretty sure that what I was seeing was the bottom/stomach of the object, it was completely silent and I could not see any movement, it seemed to be completely still. Also, what else that is not seen on the photos or video is that at times the object appeared to look like it was on fire and I am pretty sure that I saw what looked like smoke or steam around the object. The li! ght appeared to the naked eye to be roughly the size of a 5 pence piece held at arms length. I stood and observed the brightly lit object for about 45 seconds before I went inside and got my mobile phone. I took 7 still photos in total, 2 normal and 5 at full zoom (5x digital zoom). I then started to video the object on my mobile phone, what happened next was just completely mind boggling and quiet a spectacle. After filming the light for about 30 seconds, suddenly a smaller circular shaped light, greenish/white in appearance appeared from nowhere. I stood and observed the second object and watched as it blinked on and off several times, whilst also disappearing and re-appearing in different parts of the night sky as well as moving around the larger triangular object. I have to say, some of the manoeuvres and speed of the moving light was just simply stunning, mind boggling and just plain weird. After roughly 1 minute the circular light shot off in a north-westerly direction at tremendous speed and blinked out and just simply vanished. I continued to film the main object for roughly a further 30 seconds before it just went out, it was like someone switched a light off, there was an orangish/reddish flash and the thing was gone, I am pretty sure that I saw an orangish streak dart away, this only lasted for no more than a second and unfortunately does not show up on the video clip. I must have gone in and out of the garden about 15 times over the course of the next hour to see if I could see the thing again, I never saw anything else and I went to bed. I have to say, at the time and after the sighting, I never really thought that much about it, I wasn’t thinking UFOS, Flying saucers, aliens or anything like that, I thought ” that’s pretty weird” and that’s all I remember thinking. It was the next day and the following few days that it started to dawn on me just what I had seen. I have done some research on the Internet in the last week and I am amazed how much stuff is out there regarding UFOS, I never ever had any interest before my sighting and I didn’t realise that there was so much on the web. I have shown the photos and video to several people and the main reaction that I received was “wow”, “weird”, I showed the footage to a good friend of mine, he thinks that what I witnessed was nothing more than some kind of military aircraft. I suppose that I could not rule that out as an explanation but, I have visited many air shows over the years and seen lots of stuff on the T.V and DVDS about aircraft and jets etc, and I can honestly say that I have never seen anything that can perform manoeuvres and move as fast as the objects that I witnessed. I am not saying that what I witnessed was aliens, but I would love someone to show me something man made that can perform like the objects that I witnessed, I have never seen anything remotely close. I will have to go as time is getting on and I have a million things to do, I have decided to contact several people in the world of UFOLOGY and see what they have to say. I would be grateful if you could perhaps get an expert in analysis to have a look at my evidence and please get back to me. I am more than happy to share my evidence with people and please feel free to publish it, all I would ask is that you please withhold my name and personal details, please remember, I am a professional guy and I would not like to be subject to any kind of ridicule or unwanted attention that such a claim could bring. I look forward very much to your reply. Thanks, ((name deleted))
