Mort Lane A5082 south towards A577 Manchester Road, Tyldesley

I was driving back to Warrington from Kearsley via an unusual route for 
me as I use the A666 then M60-M62 motorways. I travelled to pick up the 
East Lancs road A580 on a short cut. I drove down Mort lane and 
immediately noticed (at the bottom of the road where it bends left) 
a strange triangle of very bright red lights. 

My first though was a low hot air balloon... simply because of its size 
and speed: I knew it wasn't a drone as a neighbour has one which I often 
see in Kearsley whizzing across the sky with all its colours flashing etc 
which is the size of a dustbin lid: No, this was huge and I was very alert 
and attentive... I even slowed down to watch it. 

When I first caught site of this UFO it must have only just crossed the road 
from left to right at the bottom where it bends to the left. I don't recall any 
other vehicles on this road at the time. 

I was slowly rolling downhill towards it.. all the time I was thinking WTF is 
that..its right in front of me and I'm sat there kinda thinking that old "well if 
it looks like a duck?" 

I actually eventually stopped right at the (road bends left) sign I honestly
 couldn't take my eyes off it...more so in trying to work out in 
my brain what it was that I was looking at..it really was a strange feeling 
because I'm a structural engineer and have spent most of my 35 years in 
engineering solving problems. 

Three bright pulsing red lights - each of them the size of a small car 
in a huge isosceles triangle formation... and they were definitely fixed - 
by that I mean throughout the whole time I observed it float 
across the horizon they stayed exactly the same distance apart.

Now for the strangest part... the triangle was in a verticle plane - upright....
as in two lights at the bottom and one at the top..I would estimate the 
bottom lights at 20 meters apart and the top light was some 30 meters 
above them... it simply floated very slowly... I mean I watched it go right 
across the treeline to the distant horizon...

I was in two minds of curiosity and amazement to turn around and chase 
it. as it drifted like a hot air balloon it didn't make any stop starts or jerky 
turns..it just drifted ..but get this... NO SOUND.  

I got out the car and watched it for some minutes; then I thought 'FILM IT 
YOU IDIOT'..by this time cars were passing both ways...  

I got my Nokia N95 fired-up but I couldn't see it on the screen hence I 
wasn't sure I filmed it but I could follow it with my naked eyes, so I just 
pointed it in the direction of the trees which it was passing behind. 

All the time it was slowly drifting I had a perfectly clear sight of the red 
lights pulsing; all the lights were a full round shape...they were all pulsing 
at the same time and same speed..and I would state that I did not see any 
structure between the lights...absolutely nothing was visibly seen to be 
keeping the lights apart - it was just x3 lights.  

May I close in saying that if this turns out to be a huge set up then I 
would bet all my money that I have described what I saw with great 
accuracy.
