Video captures strange lights moving across the sky in Salford

Video footage has captured strange lights moving across the sky in Salford. The unexplained lights were caught on camera at around 10.50pm on Sunday (April 17). Dr Aditya Unni was walking along Eccles Old Road when he spotted them above.

The video appears to show a cluster of three lights moving in a circular motion. The illuminations travelled towards Pendleton Way and remained in the sky for around 20 minutes.

Dr Unni, who lives in India but is currently staying in Salford, says the sighting has left him baffled. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, he said: “I was at Eccles Old Road at around 10.50pm when I saw it.

“It was raining, so it was a little difficult to figure out at first. My friends and I thought it could be laser lights or maybe some drones, but we went towards it a bit and it moved towards Pendleton Way over a period of 20 minutes.

“I made more videos while we walked just to document it. I've read some articles and watched videos, so I thought it could be a U.F.O. and I have no way to be sure of it. So, I decided to put it up on Twitter and tag the local organisations.”
