Nothing is more annoying than weird sounds keeping you awake. Luckily I’ve never experienced anything that’s gone on for more than a day or two.
Hopefully the cause is found and residents can get some peace.

UFOs UK

A few UFO/mystery lights, news stories from local media around the UK.

Now the nights are drawing in, more people will be out when it’s dark so anything seen in the sky that’s not familiar may well get reported as a UFO. Stargazing apps are very useful if you’re not sure about an object in the night sky and there are others that can inform you of meteor showers, bright comets, satellites, the Space Station and planes.

Regardless of anything mysterious, exploring the night sky is a fascinating pastime and at a very basic level all you need is your eyes and perhaps a pair of binoculars.

Lets hope for clear skies. Have fun.

Eight UFO Sightings in the Black Country.

Bridgenorth, Shropshire, September 2014.  An erratic moving object with lights was seen.

Wednesbury, Sandwell, June 2017. A circular flying fireball was witnessed from a backgarden.

Dawley, Telford, July 2019. Seen through curtains the witness described lights and shadows in a dinosaur shape.

Wolverhampton, March 2014. A scientist claimed to have seen an object flyingvat 180 miles per hour whilst watching meteors.

Mystery Red Light in Scotland.

Residents near Glasgow were left puzzled by a red glow in the night sky although the answer appears to be lights on top of windmills. As for the ‘pyramids’ looks very like foreground buildings to me.

The strange light was only noticed afterwards and looks like a light flare. I’ve taken pictures at night and light sources can cause some odd effects.

  • Alien

First object probably a plane, you don’t always hear them especially high up. The others I think are birds, gulls probably, light from street lights is reflecting off their bodies. The reason I say this is because I’ve seen the same thing myself. It wasn’t until the gulls flew overhead that I saw what they were.

Lights In The Sky

I’ve been interested in Astronomy for a very long time and do tend to look at the sky a lot and am very familiar with lights in the sky.

I have on occasion seen a few odd things, although I don’t think it’s Aliens. UFO does after all mean Unidentified Flying Objects. I’m of the opinion that there’s life out there in our Galaxy, I also consider that there are natural processes which have not been investigated properly.

So here is a round up of some media stories, mostly from local papers, about unusual lights in the sky.

Watch out for an Alien invasion predicted by a Time Traveller. Nothing so far. I’ll keep you updated.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/aliens-land-earth-tomorrow-star-24730033

Lights seen in the sky over Liverpool.

This looks like noctilucent clouds, I’ve seen a few displays, they can be very impressive. They also appear during the Summer months.

A plane by the looks of it. Planes and contrails can look unusual under different lighting and weather conditions.

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/mysterious-fireball-spotted-sky-above-21270115

Ufo instantly means Aliens for some reason.
