Abstract: HINDLEY, WIGAN, ENGLAND UK December 17, 2007
A 29 year old man and his girlfriend witnessed an unusual sight in the skies over Wigan on Monday, December 17, 2007.  Kevin writes "the object was more or less stationery with only slight movements [both] decreasing and increasing [in] altitude."  He said that he was using the stars to judge its motion.  "I could see very clearly as there were no clouds, it definitely wasn't a star and it wasn't a plane," he said "because it moved very little."  He writes that "I don't think it was a helicopter neither, as there wasn't [any] sound and it seemed to be too large."  They observed many lights on it.  "The fact is [that] it just seemed to hover for at least 45 minutes without a lot of movement," he said   The couple observed the UFO through a pair of garden binoculars.  They said it looked round in shape but through the naked eye it looked more triangular. The eyewitnesses also reported that they'd observed the object for at least 45 minutes before turning in for the night at around 12:05 am. 

Cases like these sometime involve alien contact.  Anyone with additional information is asked to contact uforc.com

This particular case is similar to the Chehalis Washington UFO report.  A mother and her child had observed the same object, but both described it differently The drawings that were sent to uforc.com seemed to support that hypothesis.
