Mystery surrounds two bright orange lights that were spotted in the night sky over Telford.

Terry Carr says he was travelling to the White Horse pub in Ironbridge on Saturday at about 10.20pm when he saw the lights.

Mr Carr said: "It was a really odd experience. What are they?"

Shropshire astronomer Pete Shah said Mr Carr could have been witnessing trick UFO balloons, the planet Jupiter which is currently low in the horizon, or Archturus, one of the brightest stars in the night sky which appears bright orange or red.
