We only saw the lights as it was dark. They appeared roughly in the North West and travelled towards where we were standing. The lights were the colour of a helicopter beam but it was not a helicopter or an aircraft of any type: there were no flashing navigational lights or any noise whatsoever. The evening was virtually windless.

It travelled at the speed of a helicopter and thats what we thought it was at first. But the lights seemed to be in segments although together. It was NOT a chinese lantern as it was travelling too quickly. Neither was it red or orange. It manoeuvered upwards slowly, went behind a cloud and disappeared.

The lights were too low to be a commercial airliner or a satellite or falling space debris. I'm convinced we saw a U.F.O.
