Full Description of Event/Sighting: At 11:00pm I looked out of the window to the west and saw a large red light (it did not have a beam of light coming from it) appear slowly over the roof of the houses and make it's way towards me in an easterly direction. It seemed to speed up and slow down significantly and did not travel in a straight line like a plane or satellite would.

There was no sound and the light did not flash, so I doubt it was a helicopter. I told my boyfriend and he came and looked at it too. It moved quickly towards us and then seemed to almost become stationary roughly over a nearby cemetery and fields a few hundred meters away from our house in a northerly direction.

Over the course of about a minute, it very slowly moved slightly east to the point that we had to move to the other side of our house to get a better view out of an east facing window and it was still moving very little. It then suddenly seemed to move straight up into the atmosphere until it disappeared. The whole episode lasted for about 2 1/2 - 3 minutes. I don't know really how far away the light was but the best way I can describe it is as being about the size of a helicopter search light (without the beam) when it is down low and searching. However I don't think that this red light was as low down as a helicopter would be when searching, so it may be that the light was much bigger but further away. Thanks.
