An amazing phenomenon was observed in the skies over Britain the other day: an armada of orange lights swept like a whirlwind across the country and went to the Netherlands. Eyewitnesses have no doubt that these were UFOs - guided alien spacecraft. A large number of reports of the appearance of "flying saucers" forced employees of the country's Ministry of Defense to check the radar readings
A group of luminous balls of relatively small size, consisting of more than a hundred objects, was spotted last Sunday in two areas of Great Britain at once - in Merseyside and Lincoln. A few days earlier, the inhabitants of Cambridge saw the mysterious sky lights, and there one witness to the appearance of a UFO claimed that one of the fireballs was the size of his house.
Ufologists were most worried: in their opinion, the visual effect that many people observed in the British sky cannot be explained by anything other than the appearance of alien spaceships. On Sunday, 54-year-old engineer Paul Slite captured the strange objects on his cell phone, seeing them in the skies over Lincoln at about 10:30 pm while cycling home after meeting friends.
“At first there were 26 of them, as if they were playing some kind of game - chasing each other and rushing in different directions,” says Slite. - Then seven more flew up, they were moving in a group. After about five minutes, they hung in the air for a second, and then disappeared."
A spokesman for the nearby Cranwell Air Force Base clarified that combat aircraft did not make any sorties over the weekend, so the lights seen in the sky cannot be associated with them. Cambridge resident Scott Boswell, who served in the army for ten years, claims that the one hundred orange lights he saw could not have been related to the plane. “They didn’t make the slightest sound,” he explains, specifying that in his lifetime he had seen a lot of meteorological probes and would also have been able to identify them by eye.
A completely different explanation for this mysterious phenomenon was found by a resident of Lincoln, who recently contacted a local newspaper in an attempt to calm her agitated countrymen. The lights in the night sky are Chinese lanterns that were launched during the evening reception for her wedding, she said. “They looked wonderful, and I hope everyone enjoyed this spectacle,” explained the happy newlywed.
