I live in the northeast of Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. On August 8, 2010, I looked out of the window and saw a light in the sky moving in a south-east to north-west direction. 

I went outside and looked at the light, it was from red to orange and had the shape of an eight with two balls of eight out of sight. I was watching this light, and when it was almost directly overhead, it slowed down, stopped, then turned into two small white dots and disappeared. 

I realized that what looked like a single light in the shape of an eight was actually two separate round red lights. 

On August 14, my wife and I saw a red light ball fly over the Campsie Hills (which are 10 miles to the north) and fly towards us in a north-south direction. When at a distance of about a quarter of a mile to our left, it slowed down, stopped, then disappeared. 

After about 30 seconds, another red light appeared over Campsie Hill and headed towards us, it slowed down and then stopped in exactly the same place as the first one. This went on for some time at very regular intervals, the red lights moving towards us, stopping and then disappearing. 

Although I did not calculate their time, it took the fire about a minute and a half to cover 10 miles from the Campsie Hills. Later that night, I looked towards the Kilsit Hills, which are actually an extension of the Campsie Hills, and saw a red light, then another one flew over these hills and disappeared some distance away from us. These lights can not be Chinese lanterns in any way. 

They moved at high speed along the same trajectory, stopped and disappeared in the same place. 

On August 17, we saw two more red traffic lights from the northwest to the southeast, and then it will disappear.

Summary: I live in the north east of Glasgow Lanarkshire Scotland. On the 8th.of August 2010 I looked out of my window and saw in the sky, a light, travelling in a SE. to NW. direction. I went outside and looked up at the light, it was red to orange in colour and in a figure of eight configuration with the two balls of the eight off set. I watched this light and when it was almost directly overhead it slowed, stopped, then faded into two little white dots, and disappeared. I realised that what looked like a single figure of eight shaped light was actually two separate round red lights. On the 14th.of Aug, my wife and I saw a red ball of light come over the Campsie Fells (which are 10 miles distant to the north) and fly towards us in a N. to S. direction. When at a distance of approximately one quarter of a mile to our left it slowed, stopped, then disappeared. About 30 seconds later another red light appeared over the Campsie Fells and travelled towards us, it slowed then stopped at exactly the same spot as did the first. This went on at very regular intervals for some time, red lights travelling towards us, stopping and then disappearing. Although I didn’t time them, the lights took about one and a half minutes to travel the 10miles from the Campsie Fells. Later that night I looked over towards the Kilsyth Hills which are really a continuation of the Campsie fells and saw a red light, then another come over these hills and disappear at some distance from us. There is no way these lights could be Chinese lanterns. They travelled at speed in the same trajectory, stopped, then disappeared in exactly the same place. On the 17th.of August we saw two more red lights travelling in a NW. to SE. direction then disappear.
