These include incidents in Cheshire (l989 I believe), near Kendal, Cumbria and one just a few yards from my then front door at Fleetwood (I was asleep in bed wouldnt you know!) In my view many of the night time triangles (inhcluding those in Belgium) are mid air refuelling exercises as several of the UK cases circa l989 were proven to be. But the daylight sightings are sufficient in number to establish that some form of aircraft was seen. That by no means implies it was an alien aircraft, of course. Jenny Randles
