Hey this is my first post so cut me some slack
The last day of August 2010 me and three other friends were having a 'poker night', anywho things got a little low later on and 3 of us decided to
go for a midnight walk out of boredom (the other stayed behind). We walked a country path local to our area at the foot of a big hill that we call the
Nab. The path leads over a ford with a footbridge from which you can clearly look out to the countryside (i can give more specific demographic
locations if need be). We decided to stop on this bridge for a while and then head back. As we did staring out towards the hill a dim object on the
left of us in the sky rose up in the distance, we disregarded it as a lantern - as it looked exactly like one and people seem to launch those things
all the time. I personally was fascinated with the object and continued watching it rise (slowly). The other two were not paying attention and the
object seemed to rise, dither and fade out...however this is where i was extremely surprised.
The object changed course, going from a wavering pattern that rose (as if it was coming from the horizon to a closer perspective) and it started to
travel towards the hill in a straight motion. I tried to get their attention and they weren't interested, at this point the object in question had
become bright (but not growing in any size) just a solid light, which i can only describe as looking like a dim star (but obviously bigger). When this
happened they started to notice and we watched this object...
It came right across the hill (which is the area of Anglezarke/Rivington, Chorley, UK) the direction it was moving across the hill is south, which
means it rose from southeast our position. It came to more or less central of the nab, it looked as though it was over or just behind on the other
side. Then it started to alter its course again - in our direction (slightly to the right of us, which would be northwest, it wasn't heading directly
for us). At this point we were jaw-dropped and trying to record it on our phones and what not but couldn't get a video which included a visible
image of the object due to lighting and low quality cameras.
As the object moved in our direction it became apparent to me that it was about the same height as a low-flying aircraft and so this was one of our
first debunks, a low air craft with a spotlight, sounds simple enough right? Nope! no noise, no flashing lights on wing tips or anything to indicate a
civilian craft! So back to the event...it was moving towards us and the light, to our surprise, split into two! Equal size, shape brightness, we were
dumbstruck. It carried on its coarse and was at an angle to us where if it was a plane we would be able to see the shape (exempt the darkness). These
lights were in tandem, side-by-side and seemed to be about a wingspan apart from where we were standing.
We began to think perhaps this was a covert military craft and what we could see were the afterburners, but this wouldn't explain why it rose and
split into two - i.e. we could see the lights front and back! The object altered coarse one more time flying off into the distance of the west over
towards Bolton. As we watched it fly off into the distance...and get this...to add icing to the cake it seemed as though some material/another object
left the object in question. This was quick and happened in mere milliseconds. At first i didn't say anything and then we were like..."did you see
that?" which confirmed we were all paying CLOSE attention (lol). When the material fell it looked like a very faint falling star (dimmer than the
object) and appeared to drop directly vertical from the object.
And there you have it, this is the first time anyone else apart from the guy who was back at the house and my dad has been told this in such detail.
Like i say its my first post and im sorry it is lengthy but i wanted to include all details as i remember them, im open to questions and im still in
close contact with my friends who were present. This has just been niggling my head ever since and finally i want some ATS answers!
I have had an account since '08 and have sat here without one since about mid '07 so, thanks for your time people, i hope you ponder this one good
