A Diamond shaped, silent, fast, object travelling across the sky.

Hello, I would like to report something. About 23.45 last night (01/26/2001) when I was walking the dog I seen something in the sky over the Dingle/Toxteth area in Liverpool, England. There was no engine noise at all - It was silent. There were 4 red lights in a diamond shape. They went on and off about once a second, not flashing but fading smoothly up and down. It travelled south east passing overhead, but not directly over. When it was over our area the size was similar to a large commercial aircraft a few miles from an airport coming in to land. There were no red and green port & starboard lights nor any flashing white lights, only the 4 red ones. The speed was much faster than a commercial jet. Within 30 seconds it had travelled in to the distance and I lost sight of it. There were patches of cloud but otherwise the sky was very clear and the stars were all clearly visible. Perhaps someone else might have seen it so I thought I'd let you have the details. Yours Sincerely, ((name and e-address deleted))
