Bolton, England (United Kingdom)

Sighted on Saturday 24. September 2016
Reported on
Shape: Square | Duration: 3 minutes
Source:

At approximately 7:30pm Saturday 24th September 2016, my aunt witnessed an erratic bright red object traveling across the sky over Winter Hill, Bolton, England as she closed her bedroom curtains. When my aunt called me, we went outside to watch it for two-three minutes.
The colour was unusually bright red and the shape varied between round and square. The object flew up, down and then off the west. We suggested it may have been a Chinese lantern, but it was just so bright and so high. We can certainly rule out a plane, drone, helicopter and hot air balloon. I know Winter Hill has had many ufo reports, I really think this can be added to that list.
