the car an observed the lights. There was no sound of any engine noise
despite there being no wind and the sky being free from cloud. The
lights were observed over-flying the Unit and away towards the
Wolverhampton area. A slight red glow could be seen from the rear of
the lights as they disappeared from view over the horizon. The lights
were visible for approximately one minute.
