Full Description & Details

Where- sitting in passenger seat of my mums car, driving A338 past Bournemouth, around 8pm on above date.

Conditions - Clear, starry night. Very cold. Very still. You know the type.

What I saw - Three red lights in a triangular formation off to the left hand side of the car. We were travelling East, so they were to the North of the dual carriageway. Bournemouth Airport was nearby, 15 miles or so, and I thought maybe it was an aircraft. These three lights were appeared in a 3 point formation with one apparantely facing to the South and the other two equally spaced it but to the North. I tried to look to see if it was a plane as that what I felt surely it was but there were no other lights and no obvious outline. Indeed it seemed to be a solid triangular outline with a red point on each end.

How far away - hard to tell in the dark, but I would have guessed the object to be the size of a large aircraft, a 747 for example, and not less than half a mile away

Height - Above the tree line enough to appear about 500-1,500 feet high

As we drove past it the object seemed to be turning, more or less on the spot, though distance makes this hard to confirm. The last thing saw appeared to be a red glow.

Note- I have flown more than 7 types of aircraft as a CCF Aircadet and aircraft enthusiast and know the vast majority of flying objects in our skies, by day or night.

I have no idea what I witnessed other than I have never seen anything like these three triangular right lights that was not in anyway like any aircraft I have seen. The lack of other lights was what made it so strange.
