My dad and I witnessed something strange on the Yorkshire moors near Haworth last Tuesday (November 8th) around 6:15pm. Thought I'd report it properly here rather than just telling mates in the pub.
We were doing a bit of autumn rambling - perfectly clear evening, excellent visibility, been getting dark early so it was dusk but not completely black yet. We were about three miles from Haworth, up on open moorland.
Suddenly, we both noticed these lights - roughly two hundred metres away - moving in formation. Three of them, arranged in a triangle, moving in absolute perfect synchronisation. Not like planes, not like helicopters, just... gliding. They moved across the sky in about thirty seconds, completely silent, and then just vanished behind the ridge.
My dad reckoned it was aircraft, but he also admitted they were moving at a weird angle and way too silent. We didn't get any photos - my mobile battery was dead, which is annoying.
Key details: November 8th, 6:15pm, Haworth area, clear conditions, three objects, triangle formation, totally silent, 30-second duration, moving northwest.
