It was very bright red with orange at the bottom, not a flashing orange but rather a slow changing red to orange. it looked the size of a helicopter although square in shape. The light was much brighter than aircraft lights, which we do get in this area although not flying in this direction.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Chapel-en-le-Frith is a rural village approx 10,000 population, there are no military bases or power plants, although Manchester airport is 25 miles away. We are on the South to North flightpath and as keen plane spotters are used to the direction/noise and look of aircraft. This was definitely no aircraft

Full Description & Details

As we headed north along Long Lane in Chapel-en-le-Frith, England. Myself and my two sons (aged 14 & 8), saw this bright red light moving towards us. We stopped the car and opened the window and listened. We could not hear anything. The bright red thing was moving southwards quite fast but not as fast as an aircraft. My son aimed his telephone camera at it but you could not see the red light on his camera. Just as the light was level with us it dissappeared behind a cloud. We continued to look but could not see it again. We travelled home, which took us 5 minutes, and again in the same direction as before we saw the red/orange light although now it was not as close. Again it dissapeared behind a cloud and we did not see it again

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