More UFOs reported

More reports of strange lights in the skies above Shropshire have been coming in to our website.

The most recent sighting took place on Saturday, November 16 in the skies above Newport in the direction of Edgmond.

A reader emailed us to say she spent 45 minutes watching a "hazy ball of light that moved backwards and forwards across the sky at differing speeds- sometimes moving up and down in a strange way.

"My son saw it out of the window of his bedroom and came down to tell us.

"I told him not to be so stupid, but both me and my husband watched it for some time.

"He did say it could have been a powerful light shone from the ground but there was no beam of light from the ground."

Meanwhile, on Bonfire Night Carol Morgan, of Llanfair Road in Newtown, said she spotted a large ball of orange light moving across the night sky.

And Shropshirestar.com reader Peter Urquhart wrote: "I saw two orange/red spheres over Telford on Wednesday 12th Nov at 5.40pm.

"These were silent but very swift. One appeared first, coming from Shrewsbury direction towards Telford, followed by the second which joined the other very rapidly."

Mr Urquhart said they were travelling too fast to be "normal aircraft".

"They both then flew side by side before veering off back in the direction of Shrewsbury again.

"These spheres were completely round, silent, large and very bright.

"I did ring the news channel but they said no-one else had reported anything that evening. I could not have been the only one to have witnessed this."
