As reported

Light over Oldham (UK/England) · United Kingdom

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

It was my nephew's birthday, and after the party myself and my sister and my daughter and my sisters partner were stood in a carpark and we all seemed to look up and see a light that looked odd to us. This object was circling above us then froze and it felt like it was looking at us. At this time the light changed colour to red and green like 1 row of 3 red lights and 1 row of 3 green lights. The object then landed in a nearby field and as it landed we saw sparks coming up. We have some video footage

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113944). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
