Full Description & Details

Sitting in window of lounge looking south from my house. Clear sky still light but turning to dusk. Street lights not on. Light cloud very high. Warm evening, about 20 degrees C. Became aware of two very bright lights apparently stationary in distance. Thought they were planes on approach into Manchester airport but not on normal flight path. Called to wife to look while I fetched video camera. Managed to zoom in on one of the lights and saw it to be triangular with a faded area underneath. Thinking it might be blurred focus causing it to appear triangular, I zoomed out and in twice and each time it remained triangular. Filmed it for about one minute before it flickered and disappeared. I looked for second light but it had gone. My wife was now on the phone to our daughter and I saw the light again. Put camera on it but it was not triangular, more cigar shaped with red at each end, the centre being brilliant white. It moved from right to left before disappearing from view, obscured by trees.
