Every now and again people spot unexplainable lights in the sky which lead to lively debates about whether they have spotted proof of paranormal activity or stray Chinese lanterns.

But Heather Crook, 54, of Ribble Close, Middleforth, Penwortham, believes she has stumbled upon two such occurrences in as many days.

Heather, a mum-of-five, was watching television with her partner at her home in Broad Oak Lane, Penwortham, at around 10.45pm on Saturday, when she spotted lights in the sky.

She said: “We were just watching television when lights appeared in the sky.

“At first we thought they were hot air balloons but then we were not sure, they were travelling in a row.They travelled then went back and we could not hear any motor.

“When I saw these strange lights in the sky I went outside.

“It looked like there was some form of light and they were shining an orange colour.

“They were moving but not drifting, they looked like they were moving with some purpose and we just watched them go off into the distance.”

The answer is yes, if you happen to live in the magical world of the knee jerk UFO debunker.  But for those of us who live in the real world, the answer is obviously no.  To read the rest of the article, click here.
