Back into MAN last night 2320 local, over the Pennines, ROSUN arrival converted to centrefix for 24R, we both clearly saw a GREEN light, like a searchlight coming from a point apparently southeast of the field. Maybe Shawbury / Jodrell Bank ? Why ? How ?
Very bright, at least 50 miles away. Only one other inbound at the time so if it happens again I'll ask ATC.
Unless anyone else has the answer.
Cheers
