A pilot today claimed strange orange lights over south Shropshire could have been a UFO.

David Bemand said he was amazed to see the lights over Ludlow on Monday at about 10pm.
Mr Bemand said he was at home in Luston with his wife Michelle and a friend when he glanced out and saw the lights.
“At first I thought it was a hot air balloon, but we are reasonably familiar with what they look like. Apart from that it was too late in the evening for a balloon,” he said.
Mr Bemand, who has held a private pilot’s licence for 22 years, said it was also too orange to be a helicopter.
He added: “We went outside to have a look at it then it either went away from us directly or got smaller and disappeared.”
He suggested it could be put down to a bizarre weather phenomenon.
The sighting comes just five days after cube-shaped UFOs were spotted across the county.

Who thinks that we are being primed for a invasion by aliens from another galaxy?
Either that or its the funny season - the amount of UFO stories not only in Shropshire but all over the UK this past month has been unbelievable
13 UFO’s spotted flying over Liverpool
UFO over Cardiff bay
The Shropshire army base event.
Another theory could be that it is time travellers from the future taking day trips to the past.
Apparently a generator was turned on in Holland earlier this year which (I don’t really understand this) would make if possible for people in the future to travel back to this moment in time
I don’t know about cube shaped objects, but these balls of light being reported sound like something known as “ball lightning”, which I believe occurs wherever there are fault lines are in the ground, balls of electric light escape from gaps in the ground (I believe).
I wonder, with sightings such as this across the country, if this could be an indication of an upcoming large scale earthquake in this country.
Or too many people misinterpret simple fire lanterns as UFOs…
