triangular object sighted in u.k

i live in a very remote area in gloucester shire, great britain called gorsty knoll. it was very early in the morning about 1 am. i was out night fishing. i was in the middle of a forest and about 2-3 miles from the nearest road. i was at a small lake, surrounded by trees for miles. it was approx 1am, i could see some red lights through the trees about north-east to were i was sitting. they were very bright and seemed to be rotating. the lights then moved into the air, i could make out a shape, it was triangular and black, it was rotating anti clockwise, quite slowly, it had perhaps 5-8 red lights down each side. the object was black. slowly it rose approx200 feet. i moved out of sight behind some trees, the object then moved from the left of my vision to my right but came no closer, it was about 100-150 metres away. it was silent and approx the size of a tennis court. it then rose 1000 feet rapidly then sped off at very high speed, faster than a jet, but it didnt build up any speed it was instant and silent. it was no longer rotating when it was moving. I stayed where i was all night and have not been back. i often have recurring dreams. im not sure if this has any significance with any other sitings. i also have never witnissed anything like this befor.
