Grey Saucer With Rotating Red Light Seen Over Preston Lancs, UK
Witness
statement: Hello: My name is ******** ********, I'm 51 years old, I
live near Preston and I have a very responsible job in
the transport industry.
Last night at approx 20:05 I
was walking back to my house after visiting a friend; it was a clear
night and I was able to see the stars and some flashing
aircraft strobe lights in the distance.
Suddenly, an object caught my eye that appeared over the rooftops from the North.
It was a dull gray disk shape, about the size of a 1p coin, and about two to three thousand feet in altitude; the object was moving very rapidly from the north to the south and it had a single red light that was rotating slowly around the out side of the disc.
There were no noise's or aircraft sounds... it was running silent.
I watched the object for about 10 seconds
until it went out of view over towards Leyland, Lancashire.
I
have never seen anything like this before and hope I wasn't the only
witness: I would be interested if there are any other reports on this
sighting.
I didn't have any means of recording
making a video or photograph.
Thanks

Another witness has just contacted BEAMS revealing how the same sort of object was observed in Canada:
I saw something
fitting the same description.
I
don't really feel like submitting a whole report, but pretty much
everything was the same except mine moved south to north, and theirs
was north to south, and I was in Canada, seeing this at around 11:20 PM.
