05.10 Saturday 13th February. A red flashing light either single or a tight cluster of 2 or 3 going at a fair speed along the moorland ridge above Buckstones Road in Shaw, Oldham, Lancashire.
Helicopter sounds are normally heard when flying at that distance from my observation point which was Crompton Way, Shaw. But it seemed to be silent.
Duration of sighting approx 10 seconds and the object was suddenly out of sight. Helicopter lights normally recede gradually until out of sight.
Weather conditions overcast but extremely cold, dry and windy.
No Moon.
Direction of travel was North easterly.
No physical effects from the sighting.
