Huge red lights in formation over Liverpool 500 Lights On Object0: Yes

Saturday 12.07 am.

I had gone to bed at 11.30 and was watching a film when I decided for no reason to get up and look out of my window and saw about a dozen red lights coming from the direction of Aigburth and passing overhead towards Childwall Woods.These were followed by a further dozen red lights.I went and woke my son and he came in to watch.For the next 5 or so minutes we watched as a steady stream of these lights sometimes in groups of upto 15 or so came into view and flew over the house quite slowly.They would be in view for about 20 seconds as they approached the house and flew overhead.I went into the back garden with my camera and watched them for about a further 10 seconds as they disapeared into the distance.The RED lights were so bright they MUST have been visable to quite a few people.Sometimes individual lights would come racing in at a higher speed than the rest and take up posistion with these clusters and then continue on thier way at the slower speed the clusters were moving at.In all we saw bout a hundred Large Red lights in the 10 minutes this lasted.The photos I took in the garden are vague to say the least.One photo I have shows the lights as being blue in colour however as I have said they were in reality Bright Red when I was viewing them both with my eyes and through the camera.A movie I took with the camera shows nothing but a black screen even though at the time the red lights were clearly visable in the view screen.The lights were so bright a red in colour that I am at a loss as to explain why they look blue exept to say that I could not honestly say that I know of any bulb or means to create the kind of light these gave off.10 minutes after the sighting had finished a Milatary helicopter with 2 searchlights was on the scene beaming thier lights down on to Holts Field / Suddley Park - this could be coincidence but it is the first time I have seen a military helicopter over these fields in all of my 40 yrs of living here.Both my son and I think it possible that the main red lights were attached ! somehow to 1 object over a mile in length.Other lights were mving around independant to the majority.My son is a pilot and we recon the hight at no more than 500ft and virtually over us.We are 2 miles from Liverpool airport and as my son was flying the next day we made enquiries with the tower as to what was seen that night but they say they saw nothing.This I cannot believe.We are submitting official reports to the MOD and CAA as "low flying" aircraft complaints as we cant find official forms for ufo's.
