READING the Star article about the UFO buzzing Bold (Spooky St Helens on www.thisissthelens.co.uk) interested me, as I also saw a 'UFO' about this time above Sherdley Park.
This sighting was also recorded by two traffic police. This shape was dark and triangular, as we watched it flipped upwards and zoomed off showing only a line of red lights which disappeared towards Bold so that it was impossible to distinguish between object and the tall lights at Bold.
Since then I have wondered if it was a UFO or given the proximity to Burtonwood was it the spy plane Aurora which at that time was still unknown, the details of this plane only leaked out in the early 80's and from the description of colour and shape it does fit what we saw that early evening.
So I still wondered did our 'friends' try this plane out on us first?
