This is the latest in a series of sightings of UFOs in the skies over Shropshire which was captured on camera by Bridgnorth school girl Harriet Rogers.

Thirteen-year-old Harriet filmed about seven minutes-worth of footage with the help of her dad on February 21.

The pair were amazed to see the light and spent about 20 minutes watching the bizarre lights. It was still there when they stopped recording, Harriet said.

"My grandmother telephoned telling us about a light in the sky; we went upstairs and had a look.

"What my dad and I saw was a light much brighter compared to the stars.

"At first, we thought it was a helicopter but then my dad went outside but could not hear any rotary blades.

"That's when we started getting suspicious, so I got the camcorder out.

"To the human eye, it just looked like a bright light but, on the cam-recorder we could see it pulsing, then suddenly changing colours. It was low in the sky, the bright light on the first part of the recording is a street light," said Harriet.

The pair decided to go out and follow the light along the Craven Arms Road to try get a bit closer and they started to notice it was going down beyond the horizon.

She added: "This is when you could see with your own eyes that it was pulsing and changing colours.

"We stopped in a lay-by and rested the camcorder on a gate post where we got the best shots. We could see how it was getting much brighter than before."

This isn't the only time that we have seen it, we have seen about two other separate occasions, all roughly in the same direction but not the exact place.

Harriet is not the only one to have spotted strange lights over Shropshire in the last few months.

There have been up to 30 sightings of mysterious spheres of light logged by UFO experts in the last two months with at least eight recorded in the last fortnight.
