Did you see lights in the sky?
AN ET READER has been left baffled by a series of bright lights in the sky last night.
AN ET READER has been left baffled by a series of bright lights in the sky last night.James Platt said his wife noticed about 12 bright lights in the sky at about 11pm last night (Thursday).
He thought at first that the stars were a bit brighter than normal, but when his eyes adjusted he saw thet although the lights were arranged like stars, they were a lot lower in the sky and a lot brighter. They looked like fiery orange and red beacons of light.
"They moved slowly, from the direction of Elton, and dissapeared to the east. I dont think that they were aircraft. As we saw no flashing lights, or heard no noise. They also seemed too randomly spaced to be aircraft," he said.
"The only explanations that I can think of is that they were some sort of flare, but I thought flares went up and down, without staying in the air for 5 or 6 mins. Or that they were hot air balloons, but I didnt think they flew at night, and occasionally, one of the lights seemed to speed up or change direction.
"I'm 99.9% sure that there is a resonable explanation. But I'd love to know if anybody else has seen such a thing in or around wansford tonight. "

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 10:48 PMOn Saturday 28th August at 10.30pm approx we were amazed to see three bright orange, fiery lights moving in unison across the night sky, my partner ,brother and niece could also clearly see these very bright objects. They stayed in a very large triangular formation and were moving from the town centre towards the A1m in a south-easterly direction. We watched them for more than five minutes until they were out of our sight. Tonight Tuesday 31st August at 9.45pm my partner and I were amazed again to see a larger single bright orange object moving across the sky this time it was travelling towards us from the south -east, it passed directly over our heads, strangely the object made no discernable sound yet maintained an even speed and height, and had the appearance of being on fire. Does anyone have any factual reason for all these objects being sighted by so many people.
