Appearance / Description of Object(s)

To be honest and without sounding like an idiot the were round with lights and looked like a typical flying saucer that you would see in a magazine or similar.

Size of Object(s)

I honestly couldn't guess on this when you look into the sky things look a lot smaller it is so hard to say.It was just like looking at a plane

Description of Area / Surroundings

Has I dont live local to this area I was not to familiar toi the surroundings However the houses were a council estate which bordered on to a large greenery with woodlands area I think with is commonly known as Daisy Nook which falls between Ashton and Droyslesden areas. I have visited the area a couple of years ago and it has changed a lot.

Full Description & Details

I am almost certain that it was in june 1978 however it could have been 1979 but it was definately the summer time. I worked for an insurance company at the time and was working on the Ashton Moss estate Ashton Manchester. It was about 8.30 at night and myself and a work collegue were just finnishing work , as we came to get into my car Muriel the lady I was working with was gazing into the sky, I wound my window down to see what she was looking at she looked amazed and told me to get out of the car to see. What we first saw was a large round bright light (not too high in the sky) and out off this light came to identical round type flying crafts. One came to the left of us and one to the right and at exactly the same time the one on the left and the bright light both dissappeared, leaving the one on the right flying over us. I'm afraid we both panicked and got back in the car and drove quickly to Muriels house which was approx half a mile away. When we got there we both looked back into the sky but the craft had dissapered. The following night there was an item in The Manchester Evening News claiming of many sightings of these UFO's. Over the years I have often wondered about what we saw that night and have on occassions seen strange things in the sky but never anything has real as this,

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Far too low down for any planets etc. and it certainly was not any of these man made objects.

Witness Background

I am now a florist but at the time worked for an insurance companyJean Hurst

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I knew absolutely nothing about UFO;s I;d never ever thought about them.until I saw what I saw and no matter what no one can tell me I didn;t see them. They were so clear in the sky that evening.
