Other over Winsford, CHESHIRE · United Kingdom

The report, as filed

Let me start by saying that I aren’t certain about the date. It was at the beginning of this year. It was when the first heavy windy storm hit Cheshire. That night the wind was really strong and it was raining heavily. I looked out of the window and saw around 50 birds trying to fly to the right. Which made me curious as they were trying to fly against the wind and were being cast in all directions. I opened my balcony door and was watching the birds as I had never seen this before. Then through the clouds I saw a trial of light, at a trajectory of 60 degrees heading to the ground on the left. I then saw a bright light at ground level then nothing. I only saw a light no object due to cloud. I’m not sure how far away the light was away from me but there was no aircraft noise. As I’m on a flight path for both Manchester and Liverpool I hear planes often, no matter what weather it is. I was neither under the influence of drugs or drink as I use either
