14th December 2009
Crewe Cheshire, Elm Drive,
About 7pm we think we had the best view yet of the flying fireball,about 100 ft above our heads going quite slow we saw what can only be descibed as a hot air balloon basket completely on fire but without the balloon attached,no shape above the object which would have been illuminated by the flames,it gave off no sound as it moved in a straight line along the road,it was a clear night with no wind so how it moved we dont know it was the strangest thing we have ever seen.

3 of us saw something flying through the sky on Saturday 14th November at around 11pm and it was very much as described above. An orange fire in the sky moving very quickly in a straight line coming from over Shavington way and across far beyond the station and kept going until out of sight. Looked a bit like a bag on fire or a hot air ballon but I believe it to have been neither of these – just wouldn’t make sense. Anyone else see it last night?

On the 1st July 2009 we were travelling on the M6 southbound around 11.20 pm between J17 – J16 (Sandbach – Stoke). We noticed a firey orange object (Ball of fire) traveling from South east to Northwest across the motorway. We initialy thought that the object was low due to the speed and size of the glow, however we soon realised that it was fairly high in the sky and was travelling quite fast- we compared the speed to an aircraft in the sky 5 mins later.

We even thought it could be an aircraft on fire but have not seen any reports about aircraft fires since.

we saw the same things on saturday night flying over Crewe! Silent, and looking like a balloon with a ball of fire at it’s base, and moving quite quickly, we video’d it too! The zoom in on the photo is abit spooky!

I saw what sounds like the exact same thing over congleton on 22/05/09 at 2200. I dialled 999 after first of all thinking it was a plane on fire. However after watching for several mins it turned away and climbed out of sight, it was totally silent. Never seen anything like it before, and still no idea what it could have been.

We saw it too! I have seen this light on FOUR different occasions with different people. I have seen it twice in Sandbach town centre, once in haslington, and once in sandbach heath.

I can’t think of any explanation at all. I have also thought of the hot air balloon theory etc but it just makes NO sense.

Please get in touch if you have any ideas!
