A UFO sighting over South Liverpool tonight?

No nonsense or doubt about this.Two of us followed shortly by a third witness observed an orange spherical object while standing outside a friends house. It was late this evening about 11.30pm and this object at about the height of a microlite moved like a silent helicopter from above Parliament Street and along in line with Hope Street above the University. So from a South easterly to North direction. It was apparently and in some odd way being propelled at a steady speed and appeared to be either very brightly lit amber or ablaze. I made the point that if this vessel or whatever was on fire or in a distressed situation it would have been trailing smoke and moving erratically inevitably losing altitude. Instead it made a steady inline progression and after ping overhead it then moved definitely upward through some low cloud and never reappeared. Did anyone else see this ?
