Triangle over Stanlow (Wirral) (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At between 5.30 and 5.40am i was driving from chester on the M53 motorway in the u.k heading towards junction 5 Eastham. I noticed a bright light behind the clouds for all of 2-3 seconds passing from left to right briefly then vanishing. A few seconds later a bright broken white light outline of a triangle and in the triangle had broken white slat verticle lights. The object appeared for all of 5 seconds staying static with its point facing towards the ground but hovered at roughly twice the height of nearby warehouses and close to a pylon. I am 100% sure of what i witnessed and was not a light reflection,it clearly stood out and i had nothing obscuring my vision.I haven't seen anything that resembles this beforehand and especially with the lights that it had on it. Also i didn't hear any noise but i was driving in a van with the radio on,it took me by surprise.
