I think I have read of this sighting before, a woman and her son reported it quite recently.
I witnessed 3 large diamond shaped lights in 1989 as I drove onto the M58 from Skelmersdale heading towards Liverpool, it was summer, about 10pm . The lights were stationary. I actually stopped the car on the hard shoulder got out and stood looking at them until my mum called me back into the car
